Cartulary of Turku Cathedral
The
cartulary
contains over seven hundred copies of medieval
documents from the early 13th century until the early
16th
. The copies were principally made from documents in the
Turku
chapter archive. Most of them are deeds concerning
the property and rights of the cathedral. The documents were edited by Hausen
(1890)
in chronological sequence, which does not represent their actual
arrangement. Fols. 1–3 (modern added foliation): A flyleaf and two parchment leaves (formerly
pastedown).

Since the manuscript was produced in parts, there are overlapping
foliations, one medieval, and one most likely from the 16th century, plus a modern
one for the index. There are several blank leaves inside the quires and these are
unfoliated, which explains why the last foliated leaf in the last quire is 283
(CCCXX).

Most of the documents are provided with a title. Documents concerning
the different altars in Turku cathedral (fol. 168 onwards) were composed in the
1480s
and later, while work on copying
the earlier parts of the cartulary had already begun by the 1460s at the latest
.The cartulary begins
with two parchment leaves and an index of the titles of most of the documents.
The index-part and the leaves preceding it have modern foliation in pencil
(1–13). The two parchment leaves are fragments from an
antiphoner
of saec. XV
. They were presumably employed as
pastedowns in the original binding.Thirty different watermarks, most of
them variants of bull´s heads. Identified motifs are dated to
1450s–1480s
:
Ypsilon
(index) (PO30386
); Crown with a lily above
, fols. 11–20
(PO50753
); Bull´s head
from fol. 30 onwards (PO 74989
); and a Sickle
from fol. 200 onwards
(PO122138
).The cartulary has suffered some water-damage and there
is a worm-hole in fols. 248–254. Small tears etc. have been repaired with
paper.
One column, intermittent ruling in ink, number of lines
varies.
(?)
17th-century
leather binding
with blind-tooled flower decoration, remains of two clasps; 22,5 × 30,5.Registrum Ecclesiae Aboensis is probably the first cartulary to have been
compiled by the medieval chapter of
Turku
. Watermarks suggest that the first charter
copies were made in the late 1450s or early 1460s while the last additions were made
around 1515
. The cartulary was compiled in several parts and most probably involved
several members of the chapter. The name ‘Registrum ecclesiae Aboensis’ is written
on the first leaves of the manuscript. It repeats the cartulary tradition of the
church province of Uppsala, since the cartularies in Uppsala, Linköping and Skarae
dioceses are also named in the same way. The other name by which the cartulary is
customarily known is the ‘Black Book’, which is somewhat later and occurs only in
sources that post-date the 16th century. The name was probably derived from the
black leather binding which was given to the cartulary in 1554
.As seen from a few additions on fols. 282–283, the cartulary was moved from
Turku
cathedral
to Turku castle
in the mid-16th century
.In the .)
1620s
the manuscript was
transferred to the archives of Turku Court of Appeals
, and in 1669
it was sent to
Stockholm
where it became part of the collections of the Antikvitetskollegium
(Royal
State Archives
) with the shelf-mark A.25. After the institutional dissolution of the
Antikvitetskollegium the manuscript came to the National Library
in Stockholm
in
1780
, after which it was transferred to its current home in the Swedish National
Archives
in 1889
. (The history of the manuscript is reconstructed in the
introduction to REA
