(

); each book is preceded by a list of chapters (imperf.; most of the list of chapters for
Jorda Balck
, as well as the first three chapters and most of the fourth of that book are missing; ed.
Schlyter 1865
). The original scribe has marked the names of the individual books in the upper margins. A slightly later hand has made occasional additions (copied variants?), e.g. fols. . The original scribe seems to have left a chapter (
Eedzöris Balck
no. 19, on ) unfinished, and a slightly later hand has copied its text on .

15,5cm × 19,5cm (11,5cm × 13-14cm)
Modern foliation in ink, in the upper right-hand corners of recto-sides, skips not only the present flyleaf but also the first two leaves of the present book proper. These (fols. [b–c]) may be the original pastedown and flyleaf of the book; they are currently glued together, but

saec. XVII–XVIII

There is a lacuna between fols. 32 and 33, apparently three folia long. The book is in fair condition, with some dirt to the edges of pages and damage from damp and (frequently) from the oxidization of the ink (especially visible in the thickly drawn rubrics; see e.g. , where the ink has corroded through the page).
Text in one column on (mostly) 21 lines, blind-ruled.
Gothic Cursive and Semitextualis by one scribe, named in the colophon as
Mathias Erici
of
Rauma
(). He cannot be (
contra
Hurmevirta 1956, 6
) the priest of the same name who was the curate of
Eurajoki
from
1580
until his death in
1587
(
Leinberg 1903, 57
), since the colophon is dated
[15]91
. He might have been a teacher (
lector
) or a judge (
laghmann
), given the contraction in his colophon.
Monochromatic but skilfully flourished Gothic majuscules for the beginnings of books and chapters, which are also marked by the use of Semitextualis for book titles and the incipits of chapters.
A half-leather binding with raised bands of
saec. XIX
. On the spine the title ‘LAGBOK’ in gold on a burgundy background. The covers show considerable wear but the binding appears sound.
A collection of laws copied
c
.
1591
by a
Mathias Erici
from
Rauma
, perhaps a judge or a teacher.
On , in the upper margin, what might have been an ownership mark has been struck through; it is dated
1620
but is otherwise illegible.
On
fol. 179v
, ‘Carl Hindricβon van boorn’ in a hand of
saec. XVIII
. Apparently the same hand has written (or more properly doodled) his name on fols. , , , (other doodles by the same hand on fols. and ). He is possibly the officer
Carl Bernhard von Born>
(
1734–1790
), son of
Herman Henrik von Born
and married to
Johanna Catharina Krogius
, daughter of the curate of
Rantasalmi
, who died in
Suomenlinna
(
Elgenstierna ed. 1925, 542
).
Acquired by the
National Library of Finland
(then University Library) in the
nineteenth century
. Inside the front cover, in pencil ‘skr[iven] 1591’, and, in a slightly older hand, in ink, ‘Tillhör Universitesbibliotheket Helsingfors’. Also the blue stamp of the University Library and the numerals ’263’ struck through. Inside the back cover the previous shelfmark in ink (B.III.21.a), struck through, and the current shelfmark in pencil: F
