) (Erik

on ownership similar to those on fol. , and including

19,5cm × 28cm (11cm × 17,5cm)
19,5cm × 28cm (11cm × 17,5cm)
No foliation.
The binding is tight and several leaves have been pasted together in the
gutters, which renders accurate collation difficult.
Catchwords on the bottom of most pages.
Fol. 1 has been pasted to a leaf of modern paper. Fol. 4 seems to be a
later addition between fols. 3 and 5. Possibly a bifolium is missing at the
centre of the quire after fol. 126 (catchword does not match with the following
page).
The main section of the manuscript ends at fol. 165; after this, an
added quire with different watermarks from the main section. The manuscript is
in excellent condition.
One unruled column with 31–37 lines of text.
One main hand writing a fine hybrida script is responsible for the text found on
fols. –. The same hand wrote other manuscripts
of :
Kristoffer
’s Landslag
Uppsala, University Library, MSS B 8 and
B 38
; and Stockholm, National Library, Engströms samling no:
56
. All manuscripts were written in the 1550s-1560s
and two of them have an early Finnish provenance. The main scribe wrote several notes in the margins of the text of the law. At least
one other hand of
saec. XVI
contributed several marginal notes.Empty spaces left for initials (8 lines high) at the beginning of chapters with the
intention of filling later, possibly with initials cut out from prints or other
manuscripts (this method is seen in some manuscripts by the same scribe).
Alternating red and blue initials at the beginning of each article (occasionally
with simple decoration in the opposing colour). Rubrics at the beginning of a
chapter in red and blue. A more formal script is used to distinguish the first words
of articles. Headings in the upper margins in red; article numbers in the outer
margin also in red. Paraphs are in red and blue.
A
saec. XX
half-binding with
cardboard covers. The manuscript contains along
with a collection of other legal texts. It was written in the
Kristoffer
’s Landslag
1550s-1560s (before 1567)
by a skilled
scribe who was also responsible for a number of other similar manuscripts. A tempus ante quam
for the writing stems from the first ownership
inscription, which is dated 1567
. In saec. XVIII it came into the possession of Mårten Lundbeck and
thence to the Porvoo gymnasium.The earliest mark of ownership seems to be connected to
Hans Larsson Björnram
(d.
1571), the governor of Finland
from 1567; see fol. : ‘1566 M: G: W: G: F: (?). H:
Larsson. gwdh hielpe migh aff all min nödh för sin såns pino och clöf.’.Upon
Hans Larsson
’s death, the book passed to his widow, Ingeborg Nilsdotter Boije
, who,
in turn, gave it to her new husband, Gödik Fincke
(d. 1617) in 1586
; fol. :
‘Gödich fincke äger dhenne bock, Then han aff sin s: kär hustru Ingeborg nilsdåtter
bekomedh haffuer, Skriff(uit) uidh nyslåt anno etc. 86’ (followed by two
monograms). Gödik Fincke held an offince in Savonlinna
where some notes concerning the local castle where obviousl added.Fol. : (
saec. XVIII
) ‘Martin Lundbeck’, referring to Mårten
Lundbeck
(d. 1771) who was the rector of Porvoo
’s elementary school from 1758. The
manuscript was purchased for the Porvoo gymnasium
in the 1770s
. He also wrote his
name and the year 1752
on fol. .Cataloguer
