The manuscript contains records of the complaints and testimonies given in the court sessions held in various parishes in Häme Province (Tavastehus län) in 1589. The records are written by an experienced scribe who also made some additions and corrections. The manuscript is a transcript, which was probably at some point part of a larger collection.

The later history of the manuscript is not known. Probably it was sent to be controlled in a court of appeals; fol. 11r: (in a hand of saec. XVII), an archival note ‘Finlandh 1589 A:9’.

How the manuscript came to the Swedish National Archives is unknown.
