Schalin (1946, 54) concluded that the Finnish sequences on pp. 23–29 and 49–56 that accord with the versions found in Mathias Westh’s Codex were copied before 1583, because the versions following those of Jacobus Finno (published that year) were written underneath. This might be the case with the sequence on pp. 23–29, but on pp. 49–56 the Finno version is copied in the same hand as the older versions. Although the hands in this part (pp. 1–56) vary somewhat, it appears more probable that the manuscript was entirely a copy made after 1583. The choral-part must postdate the publication of <hi rend="italic">Then Swenska Psalmboken</hi> in 1594, and its latter part must postdate the publication of <persName role="author">Hemmingus of Masku</persName>’s <hi rend="italic">Yxi Vähä Suomenkielinen Virsikirja </hi>(1605?).

Varieties of Gothic Cursive by several hands of saec. XVI ¼–XVII ¼, and on pp. 158–171 the hand, datable c. 1635, of Martinus Benedicti.

On pp. 1–56 and 153–156, decadent square notation on four black lines; on pp. 57–140 mensural notation on five black lines.

Decoration

Entirely monochromatic pen-drawn Gothic majuscules for the beginnings of chants on pp. 1–21, 32.

Binding

Modern binding in plain cardboard. Extensively restored.

A very small gradual and hymnary, for the most part copied in the last quarter of the sixteenth century or in the first quarter of the seventeenth. Assuming that Henricus Jacobi did indeed sign his name in the sixteenth century (as Kurvinen reports), some of the manuscript was copied in that century. In lieu of a more accurate indicator the date of the manuscript appears to fall between 1589 and Mathias Benedicti’s additions in 1635. The book was kept, perhaps even copied but certainly used, at Ilmajoki from the seventeenth century, and came from there to the National Library.

P. 185: ‘Henri[c] Jac[ob] An[no 15—]’. The beginning of the date was still extant when Kurvinen examined the manuscript, but was already missing when Schalin consulted it (the square brackets denote the extent of the currently extant text). The marking may be connected to the markings on p. 183 (‘Liber Templi Ilmolensis’ and two, with variant spellings; see also p. 186); if so, the person in question might be Henricus Jacobi Strigelius Pöyttensis, who is mentioned as curate in Ilmajoki in 1601–1629 (Leinberg 1903, 74). It is unfortunate that the date has gone missing, as an ownership mark made in the sixteenth century would be the only sure way to date the bulk of the manuscript to the late sixteenth rather than the early seventeenth century. See also pp. 173–174, notes of banns of marriage and marriages in 1654 in Ilmajoki, and, on p. 172, a note on persons accused of premarital sex (written in the same hand as the banns on p. 173).

P. 184, ‘Marthinus Benedicti Bjornb. A. 1635’ (also p. 171: ‘Martinus Benedicti Bior.’). This may be Martinus Benedicti, Björneburgensis, student in Tartu University in 1643 (Kotivuori 2005, s.v. Mårten). The inscription was most likely made in Ilmajoki, where the book seems to have spent the whole of the first half of the seventeenth century.

P. 31: Struck-through: ‘Biornborgh. Eschillus Pauli Kyroissi’, written in a hand similar to (yet probably distinct from) the main hand on the page of saec. XVI 4/4–XVII ¼. This person, from Pori, like Martinus Benedicti, is otherwise unknown.

On fol. 1ar there is a faded and illegible inscription, probably a name.

On p. 186 the blue stamp of the University Library (National Library of Finland.

Inside the back cover: ‘M1999-14’.
