.Two quires are added between the conjoint leaves forming folios 47 and
58. Two quires are added likewise between fols. 59 and 72. A small strip (fol.
27b) has been bound in between fols. 27 and 28. The last leaf of the quire
containing fols. 92–100 has been cut out. There is a large tear in fol. 49.
Lower half of fol. 145 has been cut out. Internal references made to other texts
found in the manuscript suggest that the original organisation of the texts may
have been different (
Noreen – Grape 1917, 87
).The manuscript is in good overall condition. There is some fraying along the
edges and stains on the leaves.

lines varies,

).Several later additional hands make additions in the empty spaces.
Notation on a black five-line stave on fol.

.Simple black pen-drawn initials or majuscules at the beginning of a new text or
entry. Rubics are marked with use of a different type of script.
Bound in badly worn leather covers, which may once have been dark brown, but are
nowadays yellowish. Part of the back cover has been attached with a piece of
parchment from a Latin manuscript of
saec. XV
.
Two leather thongs are visible in the inner front and back covers.The manuscript contains a collection of (mostly) historical texts written by
two scribes collaborating on a few of the texts. A few other hands have added
further historical notes on the empty pages. The year
1583
is the last
one to appear in these notes. However, since it appears in the additions written
over a longer period of time, it should not be considered as a terminus ante quam
for the manuscript as a whole.The manuscript contains several notes referring
to
Finland
, which indicate it originated there. The same
conclusion can be made based on the earliest identifiable owner of manuscript:
Jöns Persson till Salmis
, who acted as a judge
in Vehmaa
in 1567.Inner front cover (
saec. XVI
):
‘Bengt(?) Arffwed’. A few saec. XVIII–XIX notes. Inner back
cover
: ‘Jöns Persson till Sallmis Sin Bock eller Krönnicka’. Fol.
: ‘Possessor huius liber wocatur Jöns perss.’ Jöns Persson
was an acting judge in 1567
in
Vehmaa
(Blomstedt 1958,
394
).Fol. : ‘Dis buch habe ich Bo Jurgen [von?]
Fritz [?] bekömen zu Lenen vnnd soll Er Daszelbe wieder bekomen wenn Er Esz haben
will den 23 Maey 1610’.
In
1643
the manuscript
belonged to a ‘Lars Nillszon Roborin’ (fol. 70v
). He is probably
identical with Laur. Nicolai Roborinus
who was
entered in the matrikel of the Åbo akademi
in
1641
. The same hand enters a few notes on fols. 7r
and
72r
.Fol. : an ownership marking by
Ad. Ludv. Stierneld
(1755–1835) who was a lagman
in Närke: ‘Detta ms. som vari min far fars har jag kjöpt på en auction i Stockholm
1785, ibland de flere v: Dalins Handskrifter.’ According to the note, the manuscript
had belonged to Lars Stierneld
(1669–1721). By
mid saec. XVIII
the
manuscript had come into the hands of Jacob Röding
(c.
1725–1782) whose book collection was sold in 1785
(this manuscript is no. 22 in the catalogue). The
manuscript was purchased by the above-mentioned Ad. Ludv. Stierneld
who collected
manuscripts concerning the history of Scandinavia. He bequeathed his manuscripts to
the University Library of Uppsala
, which received the collection in 1858
. (Noreen – Grape 1917, 84–85
).Struck-through number ‘523’ on the front cover.
