Different paper has been used in each unit; in I, watermark is an unidentified
bull´s head
; in II, watermark is an unidentfied
letter P
; and in III, watermark is an unidentfied
bull´s head
. Tracing and analyzing of the watermarks is challenging since they occur in the fold of the manuscript. Based on the typological similarities it is possible to say that the paper in unit II dates probably to
1480–1500s
.
One column, ruling with ink.
Littera Gothica Cursiva; each unit is copied by a different scribe.
Rubrication, stylized initials and
litterae notabiliores
are used in fols. .
A tacketed limp parchment binding; the used parchment is a fragment from a
12th century
(?) missale.
Codex Cederhielmianus
is thought to be the only concrete relic of the reform enacted by the dean and chapter of
Turku
cathedral in
1474
. It is a composite manuscript formed of three parts, and the only source by which the statutes of
Turku
diocese have survived. The last part contains a rather obscure theurgical text with little obvious relation to the other parts.
The manuscript is difficult to date accurately because the watermarks give only a little help. But on the basis of the content and the script it would be a safe assumption that A 57 was written in
Turku
at the
end of the 15th or beginning of the 16th century
.
According to an inscription on the first flyleaf, the antiquary and manuscript-collector,
G. G. Cederhielm
(1661–1741), donated the manuscript to the
Swedish Royal Archive of Antiquities
(
Antikvitetsarkiv
) on
20 August 1728
: 'Anno 1728 den 20 August war iag ute på Lindholmen hos hans Excellentz G. G. Cederhielm, då hogbemeltte excellentz förärade denna bok til Kongelige Antiquitets Archivum'. In
1780
, books from the archives were moved to the
National Library of Sweden
