Registry of confiscated charters from the
Monastery of Naantali
Fols. 1–34:
Registry of charters
from the archive of the Birgittine monastery at
Naantali
. Edited in
Arwidsson 1853, 1–42
. The arrangement of Arwidsson’s edition is chronological, while the manuscript, at least partly, follows instead the organization of the actual archive (
Walta 2012, 301–302
). Arwidsson’s edition also ignores all archival information marked in the margins, such as the shelf-marks of the charters.
--- [according to a pencilled note the missing section read:

Paper
34 folios
21cm × 32cm
Modern foliation in pencil in the lower margin. The current sequence and foliation are possibly incorrect. None of the quires is currently bound, but consist instead in gatherings of loose bifolia or singletons. On there is an annotation stating that charters that follow chronologically are found on the fourth leaf after this one. The last charter on is dated
1506
and charters postdating that are found on fol. 22. Moving that later quire (fols. 19–22) to a position after the first quire would make sense, since it contains charters shelf-marked with the letter ‘C’; it would follow on naturally from the charters shelf-marked ‘A’, which appear in the first quire.

All leaves have been torn in the upper margin and subsequently conserved with Japanese paper. Some loss of text occurs on almost every leaf. There is some staining and fraying along the edges.
A watermark of
a crown with a cross and star above it
; similar to
Piccard, Kronen, s. 42
; dated to
1540s–1550s
(see also
Åström 2013, 115
). Another (only fols. 19–22) depicting
a letter ‘P’ with a flower over
.
One unruled column (
c
. 23–25 lines) with notes in the margins.
Four hands writing a cursive of
saec. XVI
: A, fols. , , , ; B, fols. , ; C: fols. -; D: .
No decoration.
Six unbound gatherings and a few loose singletons in modern brown paper covers. These are kept within cardboard covers.
The manuscript contains a registry of the charters confiscated in
1554
from the
Birgittine monastery of Naantali
. The registry at least partly follows the organization of the actual archive. It was written by experienced scribes, probably in connection with the confiscation or else soon after it. It is possible that the writing was done in
Stockholm
(
Kammararkivet
) once the charters had been received there.
It is kept in the
National Library
(shelf-mark ‘A 934’ recorded on the covers (both the paper and cardboard ones)).
In
1853
the manuscript was moved from the
Kammararkivet
to the
National Library
.
