The copybook fragment has been bound with various other manuscript materials, most of which dates from saec. XVIII. The collection is bound in wooden boards with white leather covers. This binding was done in the Uppsala University Library in a style used for several manuscripts of the E-collection.

The small fragment with four different texts possibly derived from a copybook written at the end of saec. XV or beginning of saec. XVI. It contains documents found in other Finnish sources (Registrum ecclesiae Aboensis and Codex Skokloster) and may come from the same area.

The fragment was in the possession of Ricardus von der Hardt (d. 1714) who used it in his work Uberior messis quorundam fragmentorum historiae fennicae ac Helsingicae, 1708. From him it passed into the collections of Olaus d.y. Celsius (1716–1794) with the shelf-mark ‘Nr. 58’ (first flyleaf verso). The manuscripts from Olaus Celsius collection collection were moved to Uppsala University Library in 1795. Manuscript shelf-mark ‘E146’ on the spine and inner front cover.
