III: Reclamants visible in the lower margin. IV: Reclamants occasionally visible in the lower margin. Quire signatures signalling the leaves of the first half of the quire (roman numerals) added in blue by a later hand.
The manuscript is comprised of seven booklets of varying origins. They were bound together most likely in the
first half of saec. XV
.
Two quires have been added after the first quire. These quires were stolen from the manuscript during 20
th
century and returned in 1987. The leaves are now foliated 6a–6p.Fol. 59a was one of the leaves that were stolen from the manuscript and returned in 1987.
In VII, the text is worn and faded, especially so on fol.
200r
.
I: varying number of lines.
II: one column, 41–43 lines with commentary, otherwise varies..
III: 22–23 lines in one column..
IV: two columns from fol. 102r, 20–26 lines of text..
V: two columns on fols. 172r–173v. .
VI: two columns with 45 lines; first one written above the top line.
VII: one column with
c
. 35 lines.
I–II: Textualis in a hand of
saec. XIII

.
IV: A textualis of
saec. XIV
(?) by several hands. Fols. 149–150 include

in

: ‘Anno domini M
o
ccc
o
xxxvi me holmuido existente in hospitali lodhosiensi cum domino swenone canonico scarensi hoc scripsi jn sabbato proximo ante Johannis baptiste [22.6.]’. The mentioned
Swenonus

1330
(
DS 2809
). Fols. 190–193 by different hands.
VI: Textualis in a hand of
saec. XIV
.

.
A theological compilation manuscript with seven units of different origins ranging from
saec. XIII to XIV
. Two units contains short notes in
French
(III and IV), indicating a possible origin in
France
, and another two (II and V) were acquired by a cleric from Turku,
Thörnerus Andreae
. His collection included several manuscripts from Prague. At least these two units, possibly also others, were carried by Thörnerus to the Birgittine
Vadstena Abbey
.
Parts II and V at least belonged to
Thörnerus Andreae
, a priest from the diocese of
Turku
, who entered the Birgittine
Vadstena Abbey
in
1407
: ‘liber Monasterii sancte Marie virginis in watzsteno quem attulit frater Thørnerus andree quondam clericus Aboensis Orate pro eo’ (fol.
65v
); ‘thørnerus andree possidet istum librum’ (fol.
154r
); ‘si possessoris nomen cognoscere velis / thør tibi primo medio ne rus sit in ymo’ (fol.
169v
).
Part III has an partly erased ownership mark on fol.
80r
: ‘Liber domini ----‘.
Part IV belonged to a brother
Petrus
: ‘Iste liber est fratris petri de basta [leista(?)] conventus fontis’ (fol.
83r
).
Vadstena Abbey’s shelf-mark is found on the first flyleaf verso: “I iiii primus in ordine”. The binding is typical of the abbey for the
first half of saec. XV
.
The manuscript remained in the abbey’s collection after its dissolution and was probably among those codices taken away in
1619
and donated to Uppsala University Library in
1621
by King
Gustav Adolf II
.
Uppsala University Library
’s shelf-mark ‘C 453’ found on inner front cover.
