Currently attached to the modern flyleaves of the rebound . Both fragments were
trimmed when reused as covers: the fragment at the back is missing its outer and
lower margins, and the fragment at the front both its outer and inner margins.
The fragment at the back includes the inner margin of another leaf from the same
antiphonary, possibly the one now found at the front of the book (but note that
if the leaves in fact formed an original bifolium then the original manuscript
would have arranged all its Feasts in one temporal series, instead of in
separate series of
Then Swenska Kyrkeordningen
de tempore
and de
sanctis
).Three sides of both folia are folded, probably in
connection with their reuse as covers – note that their combined width when
folded falls short of that needed to cover the book, suggesting that the spine
of the book was covered with a separate slip that has since been lost. This
possibility is supported by the marks left by the bands of the binding, which
indicate that the fragment now at the front of the book is the original back
cover, and the fragment at the back the front cover. If the two leaves
originated as one bifolium this seems to have been also its original
orientation, in that case probably the outermost of its original
quire.
Both fragments are in very poor condition, even considering their
reuse as covers. The sides that presumably faced outward in the cover are deeply
stained and the inner sides blackened to the point of illegibility probably from
the glue used to fix the cover fillings. Both folia have worn through in places,
and from the latter halves of both material has been cut away by a diagonal
incision: the detached portions have been sewn back (this piece is now missing
from the fragment at the back, although holes show it was once sewn
there).
Text and notation on ten lines, no discernible
signs of ruling or pricking.
Formal Gothic Cursive in one hand of
saec. XV
.Square notation (the lines are no longer visible, but their colour would
seem to have been black).
Pen-drawn Gothic majuscules, rather slender as befits the cursive script used in
the text, decorated in black (with triangular protrusions etc.) and with their
interior spaces coloured red. Rubrics in red (including the contractions marking the
genres of chants), apparently in the hand of the main text.
The fragments apparently served as the original cover of this copy of , printed in 1571.
Then Swenska Kyrkeordningen
The original cover was filled with leaves from a
late-sixteenth-century
collection of letters from and to various persons
usually in Turku
and Viipuri
(now Helsinki, National Archives, Biographica, Kupiainen, Henrik
Henriksson
). It thus seems that the book was bound by or for somebody
(Bertill Andersson
?) with connections in
Viipuri
, where the book ended up in the
early seventeenth century.A bifolium from a , at some stage between the printing of the book in
fifteenth-century
antiphonary
, used, perhaps by its first
recorded owner, Bertill Andersson
, to bind a copy of Then Swenska
Kyrkeordningen
Stockholm
in 1571
and its acquisition by Bishop Olaus Elimaeus
in 1628
.The earliest recorded owner of the book is one
Bertill Andersson
, whose ownership
mark on the title-page of the volume records that he bought it in Turku
in 1592
. If
he was its first owner, the volume may not have been bound at this stage.The
second recorded owner of the book is
Olaus Elimaeus
, bishop of Viipuri
, whose
ownership note is written on the recto-side of what appears to have been the last
flyleaf of the volume, the latter leaf of a bifolium of different paper from the
printed book. Bishop Olaus’ hand seems to have copied an excerpt from Ecclesiasticus
found inside the back cover (‘Syrac. 4. circa finem capitis: Tala icke emot
sanningenne vthan låt … håller medh then andra’). He records having bought the book
in 1628
, and by all evidence it was bound by then.Cataloguer
