The leaves have been heavily conserved in the gutters and edges. There is evidence of moisture- and other damage. In certain places, this damage, along with tears in the paper, has caused loss in the text.
One column, varying number of lines.
Two main hands writing cursives.
Simple pen-drawn majuscules. No other decoration.
Unbound.
A fragment of a copybook containing letters between the king and
Arwid Henriksson Tawast
(
c
. 1540–1599), the commander of Narva castle in
1590
. This copybook consists of one sole quire, of what probably was originally a larger collection.
A modern marking on the covers, ‘från Handl. rörande ryska kriget’.
Currently the fragment rests among a large number of documents, mostly letters, related to Arvid Henriksson Tawast. They all stem from his archive, which was confiscated from his estates in
1599
. It was kept in the
Kammararkivet
and moved to the
Swedish National Archives
in
1913
(see
Koskinen 2011, 37
).
