Catchwords are frequently used at the foot of a page when a sentence
                    is broken.
                Condition is good, aside from a few loose leaves and some staining and
                  fraying of edges, especially to the first two folia. Fols. [1],
                   [8] and [73] are loose, and the last folio of the
                  book, probably blank, is missing.
              Text in one column, on (mostly) 26–33 lines, not ruled.

                  [47]v
 (see also the main text on fol. [31]v
)
                indicates that the text was copied in 1580
. The anti-papist
                poem mentions the Jesuit Antonio Possevino
, active in
                  Sweden
 in 1577–1580
                  (Kiiskinen ed. 2010, 25, 27
).The first initial of the book has been touched with what looks like red pencil.
                This may be a later addition, as also the green colour to the outer edges of the
                book block. Titles and rubrics are distinguished, if at all, by layout only.
            The book is bound but without covers. The present sewing may not be original, given
                that the annotations to the catechetical dialogue have frequently been partly lost
                to ploughing.
            A collection of theological texts, such as could be of use to a parish priest,
              copied very probably c. 
            1580
 by one Swedish scribe.The book was found by 
            Terhi Kiiskinen
 in Nilsiä
, Aholansaari
. Nothing is known of
                the history of the book before it ended up in Aholansaari, probably as a part of the
                library of the curate of Varpaisjärvi
, Gottlieb Aron Kleofas Hymander
 (1874–1931
,
                from 1918 Hyvämäki), bequeathed by his widow Edit
 in 1955
 (see Kiiskinen ed. 2010,
                  11
; cf. idem
, 15–25).The book, owned by the
                
            Aholansaari Foundation
, is currently deposited in the National Library of Finland
