Kristoffer
’s
Landslag
and most of the articles are written in
1581
by a scribe who identifies himself as
Benedictus Laurenti
; fol. : ‘Explicit expliceat ludere scripto at(?) Explicit lex liber anno 1581 vigesimo octavuo nouembris, Si tu cognoscere queris codicis istius Benedictus Laurenti est nomen illius…’
Magnus Eriksson
’s
Stadslag
is written by another, roughly contemporary, scribe.
Monochromatic initials in black at the beginning of chapters and articles. Chapter numbers and beginning words are also written in a larger and more formal script.
Leather covers enforced with paper. Blind-toolings with roll stamps, which bear stylistic resemblance to those from
Leipzig
(see

). The binding features a wrap-around flap from the lower cover. Remnants of one catch on the front cover. The letter ‘B’ has been carved on the front cover. Paper pastedowns.
