Wage register

A register of paid wages. The upper parts of the folios have been badly damaged, and thus the register is difficult to date or to assign a place of origin to. On fol. 1r there is the heading 'Leghefolkes lön', and the register seems to consist of short notes on wage expenses. Modern archival markings in pencil suggest 1527 and Nynäs (fol. 1r) as the dating and origin of the register, drawing presumably on the archival context rather than any particular clue in the manuscript.

 Paper 8 folios. 10,5 33,5 Text area varies. Foliation in lower right-hand corner. Four bifolia that have previously formed a quire and are now preserved flat and unbound. In bad condition; the upper parts of the folios in particular have been damaged and some text lost. Some conservation work done. One unruled column.

A single hand, brown ink.

No decoration.

Not bound.

A perhaps fragmentary but none the less clearly produced register of wages paid. Due to the damage suffered by the manuscript its context is unclear but probably dates to the 1520s and is part of the large collection of financial records pertaining to Nynäs estate.

The financial records of Nynäs and related estates came to the Swedish Crown, and later the Swedish National Archives, when the possessions and archives of Hogenskild Bielke were confiscated following his execution in 1605 (see Introduction to these descriptions).
