Variants of four watermark motifs;
Bull´s head
(PO80019
), fols. 1–39 (except fols. 11–16); One-handled
drinking vessel with cover above crown and a leaf
(PO31721
), fols. 11–16; unidentified Agnus dei
,
fols. 40–84; and Ypsilon
(PO30386
), fols. 106–124.The cartulary is in places in poor
condition. It has suffered water damage while several leaves, including two
entire quires (after the present quire VIII), have been cut out or ripped off.
The two last quires (fols. 106–124) were originally part of an another
cartulary
One column with a varying number of lines; no ruling.
Littera Gothica Cursiva, several scribes.
16th century
additions in last two quires are, at least partly,
written in a humanistic script by Canon Arvidus Nicolai
Särkilahti
, who writes his name, for example, on fol.
. Other additions were written at the castle of
Turku
by an unknown scribe.Original limp binding of dark brown leather, partially damaged. A printed copy of
Pope
Sixtus IV
's recommendation for the papal
legate Bartholomaeus de Camerino
(14 October 1483
) is attached as the front flyleaf.Skokloster Codex Aboensis is one of two medieval cartularies that have
survived from
Turku
cathedral and chapter. Most of the documents have been copied
from the cathedral's other cartulary, Stockholm, National Archives, A 10
(‘Registrum ecclesie Aboensis’). The
watermarks suggest that the cartulary was copied around the 1480s or 1490s
. In the
1540s
, Canon Arvidus Nicolai Särkilahti
used the cartulary as a personal notebook,
drafting some letters and sermons in it. Some of these additions are written over
the unerased original texts.From
Turku cathedral
the cartulary came to Turku castle
in the mid-16th century
at
the time of the reformation.Jaakkola (1952, XXIII)
has argued that the manuscript was discovered there by the
Governor-General, Per Brahe
, in the 17th century. After Per Brahe´s death in 1680
the
cartulary became part of the collections of Skokloster Castle
in Sweden
, with the
shelf-mark N. 70 (seen on the spine and front flyleaf recto). In 1892
the manuscript
was transferred to the present-day Swedish National Archives
