Fols. 1 and 217: A document which was used as flyleaves for the manuscript. See

(Small fragments removed from the bindings are now kept in a cardboard cover placed
before fol. 1. The fragments contain, for example, a section of a prayer in
Swedish.)

Quire signatures (i–xviii) throughout the entire manuscript marked on
the verso side of the last leaf in a quire. The quire signatures suggest, the
two booklets forming the manuscript were combined shortly after
production.
Fols. 26 and 27 are pasted to a guard in the gutter. One (blank) leaf
excised after fol. 167. Fol. 217 is loose.
The manuscript is in good
overall condition.
One column with vertical and horizontal bounding lines
(prickings visible in upper, outer and lower margins), a varying number of lines,
usually
c
. 35–37.Simple pen-drawn intials in black or red; often the initials are not drawn and the
spaces for them still blank with guide-letters nearby. Rubrics, punctuation,
highlighting and underlining in red.
Blind-stamped dark brown calf over wooden boards. The front cover has roll-frames
and the ownership marking noted above. The back cover has blind-tooled diamonds, and
a stamped invocation ‘iesu’. Five wooden bosses on the front board and four on the
back. Both boards show remnants of a strap and pin attaching to the middle of the
back.
On the back board title-label on paper under horn, fixed by a frame of copper.
Below the index on the bottom of the label a shelf-mark in red, ‘K 14
us
’. Below and next to the frames in black ink, another
shelf-mark 'L primus vij'.The binding is dated to
1389
on fol. : ‘Ligatus est
iste liber Anno sub domini 1389 Vigilia F---’. That the binding was done in
Prague
, where the book was purchased, is
suggested by the front and back flyleaves, which are from a document mentioning
Jungbunzlau
near Prague. Blind-tooled on front cover:
‘Liber domini petri de vel
’.The manuscript is a compilation of spiritual and theological texts written,
in all likelihood, in
Prague
. It is the work of two scribes, the first of whom dated
his work to 1384
. Since the binding is dated 1389
, the second scribe must have
completed his work by then. Although written by two different scribes, the rather
homogeneous contents as well as quire signatures found throughout the manuscript
indicate that the parts were designed to be together from the start.The manuscript was purchased by ).
Thörnerus
Andreae
, a priest from Turku
, in
Prague
(probably during his studies
there in 1391
; see Thörnqvist 1929,
274
): ‘liber thørneri andree emptus praghe pro duobus ducatis’ (fol.
). He carried the book with him to the Birgittine abbey of Vadstena
: ‘liber monasterii
sancte marie virginis in watzsteno quem attulit frater thørnerus andree olim
clericus aboensis Orate pro eo’ (fol. ); he entered the abbey in 1407
(DV
152:1Vadstena shelf-mark ‘L I 7
us
in ordine’ is found
on the back cover
and on fol. . An older shelf-mark
‘K 14us
’, also possibly related to Vadstena, is found on
the index-label on the back cover
.The
manuscript probably belonged to that group of books that remained in the abbey after
its dissolution in
1595
. They were removed in 1619
and donated by King Gustav Adolf
