16 fols.
8,5cm × 10,5cm (5,5cm × 7,5cm)
8,5cm × 10,5cm (5,5cm × 7,5cm)
not foliated
The badly fragmentary remains of perhaps three quires (fols.
[1–7], [8–9], [10–16]), of which the most complete is a defective
quinion (fols. [10–16])
Fols. [15] and [16] still have their folds
intact). Fols. [3] and [8] have been damaged by
heat. The contents have been marked in ink and in pencil on the folia (using the
modern numeration of Psalms).
Text in one column, ruled in lead (below the top line, double
lines in the inner margins).
Protogothic bookhand written by one scribe.
Decoration
Two orders of lombards painted
alternately red and blue; psalms distinguished with a flourished larger lombard,
verses with smaller lombards without flourishing.
Unbound leaves and strips, some of which ([1–4] and [10–16]) have
been lightly sewn together after reconstruction. There are removed parchment covers
(which have had paper glued to them) preserved with the fragments, but these, while
smallish (9,5 × 14), do not seem to fit what is presumed to be the original size and
shape of the fragment folia (which in any case are reported as having been found in
the binding of a tax-book).
It is not known how this portable psalter (or parts of it) found its way to
Åland
to be used in binding a tax book.The fragments are enclosed in a blue cardboard folder, on which is written in a
hand of
saec. XIX
‘Psalterium i böneboks-format,
fragm. funnit i en räntebok från Åland
1537–38’ (the same information is repeated on a piece of paper
accompanying the fragments).After the leaves were recovered they were
sent to the
National Library of Finland
