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

Nyberg 2002, 41

). 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.
