And an addition of saec. XVI 2/3, ‘nilβ Jacop 3 foglar, Laβ 2 foglar’, and in another, earlier hand, ‘[R]yppä soluit in templo 6 öre nt *’.

There are additions and markings throughout; for instance, records of debts have been struck out after they have been paid. See, for example, the markings on fol. 5r, concerning the debts of Nicolaus Tala, paid in 1511 (also fol. 34r), which have confused some previous scholars as to the date of the accounts on fols. 5r–8v, having approached the text mainly through the transcript by Hausen (Suvanto 1973, 341 n. 42; cf. Jokipii 1985, 10).

 Paper 50 + 2 fols. Fols. 1–16: 10,5 × 29,5 (7–9 × 26–27,5); fols. 17–28: 10,5 × 30 (varies); fols. 29–35a: 9,5–11 × 29–29,5 (varies); fols. 36–49: 10,5–11 × 28,5 (varies). Modern foliation in pencil in the middle or in the left-hand corners of the upper margins of recto-sides; otherwise continuous but the 46th folio is numbered ‘45a’, the 47th ‘46’ and so on. 1[A] + VIII16 + VI28 + IV35a + IV43 + III49 + 1[B] Fols. 1–4, 35a and 49 survive only as thin strips of varying size at the inner margins. The leaves have been repaired with paper. Text in one column, on varying number of lines; only fols. 1–16 ruled in ink.

Varieties of Gothic Cursive by several hands; on fol. 28v, pen-trials in Gothic Textualis and Hybrida. The scribes were probably successive priests of the church – the youngest main hand is that of curate Mathias (see fol. 45v).

No decoration. Even rubrics only rarely distinguished by placing or script, mostly in the first part of the book.

Modern ledger binding in dark brown leather. Sewn with strips of parchment (partly restored); the binding of the quires has been reinforced using patches of parchment (mostly recycled, but apparently virgin between fols. 32 and 33; and restored between fols. 39 and 40).

A parish account book kept apparently by successive priests at Tyrvää church, used between the 1460s and 1493, and 1499 and 1524. Until the 1490s the book seems to have consisted of the first two quires (fols. 1–28) only. Between 1493 and 1499 more quires were added.

The book remained in Tyrvää, where it was found in the nineteenth century.

Discovered by J. Oskar I. Rancken at the medieval church of Kalliala (Tyrvää) in 1851, and donated by Antero Warelius, then the temporary chaplain, to the Finnish Literature Society, which eventually forwarded the book to the National Archives (the discovery is reported in Rancken 1888, 26).

On fol. 49v, the blue stamp ‘Suomalaisen kirjallisuuden seura Helsingissä’. A 19th-cent. note on the provenance is also found pasted on the back flyleaf, fol. [B]r.
