Additions:
On fols. a somewhat later hand has added
O Jumal sinua kijtäm
(rhymed
Te Deum
in Finnish after
Jacobus Finno
;
Kurvinen 1929, 256 no. 5
), with notation.
O Jumal sinua kijtäm ... ... älä häpiät päälläm tuota.
On fols. , a hand roughly contemporary with that on fols. has added
O Gudh wij lofwe tig, o Herre wij tacke tig
(
Te Deum
in
Swedish
, after the German rhymed translation by
Martin Luther
), with notation.
Oo Gudh wij loffwer tigh ... ... till Ewigh tijdh. AMEN.
On fols. , , another hand has added
Te Deum
, followed by
O Gudh wij lofwe tig och bekenne tig
(
Te Deum
in
Olaus Petri
’s Swedish of
1536
) and
O Jumala sinua me kijtämmä
(
Te Deum
in
Finnish
after
Jacobus Finno
;
Kurvinen 1929, 256 no. 4
; imperf.), with notation.
Te Deum laudamus ... ... non confundar in aeternum. O Gudh wij låfwer tigh ... ... komma |ma till ... ... till Ewigh tijdh. Amen. O Jumala sinua me kijtämmä ... Pyhä herra Jumala zabaoth (after this, notation continues to fol. , but the words are missing, only sporadically added in a later hand).
On , a
Michael Erici
(
saec. XVII
) has added
Resonet in laudibus
,
Fader wår som i himblom äst
(
Pater noster
, a variant of
Laurentius Petri
’s translation in the Swedish hymnal of
1562
, after
Martin Luther
’s German setting
Vater vnser im himelreich
), a latin sentence and his signature, all without notation.
Resonet in laudibus ... in caelis. Fader wår som I himblom äs ... At wij skole åkalla tig [ ... ] wår fattiga siäll ... tu gifwandes wiβerligh. Jam placata caelestis patris ira Ergo exultemus. Michael Erici.
The sanctoral reflects Lutheran tastes, with St
Henry
, the patron-saint of
Finland
, being the only non-biblical saint. There are occasional reformatory changes to the texts of the offices, see e.g. . There is also contemporary marginalia noting the biblical sources of chants (e.g. fols. ). The additions date from
saec. XVI 4/4–XVII 1/3
: they must postdate the
1583
publication of Finno’s hymnary, and the last additions are made by
Michael Erici
(see below).

Catchwords occasionally at the end of each page (e.g. fols. ).
There is at least one folio (but quite probably more) missing between fols. 158 and 159, as well as folia missing from the beginning and the end of the manuscript. Moreover, fols. 7–9 are misplaced, they belong after fols. 220–222. These six folia have probably originally formed the last quire of the manuscript. Fol. 223 is also misplaced and belongs between 212 and 213.
Text and notes for the most part in one column on eight to ten lines, but on fols. and in two columns on 11 to 12 lines.
Several different hands writing varieties of Gothic Cursive and Humanist Minuscule. Given the amount of missing text it appears that the notation has been copied first and the text after that, perhaps over a longer period of time. Text for recurring chants such as the
Magnificat
appear in places to have been copied last, and are at times missing.
Decadent square notation on four black lines; additions in mensural notation on four black lines (on fols. , , ; on fol. the last added stave has five lines).
Monochromatic pen-drawn Gothic majuscules for the initials of chants. Larger initials for individual feasts were projected but to a large extent left unexecuted; the large Gothic majuscules with monochromatic flourishing in the paschal offices (on fols. ) may be later additions. Rubrics appear erratically, and are often distinguished by being written entirely in majuscules.
A
saec. XIX
quarter-leather binding, with the erroneous title ‘MISSALE cum notis musicis’ and ‘MSC.’ tooled in gold on the spine. On the front cover the university library stamp with the legend ‘Otium sapientis 1761’, in gold. The front and back pastedowns/flyleaves appear to have been replaced relatively recently.
A copy of a
Dominican antiphonary
produced for Lutheran use in the
second half of the sixteenth century
.
has the signature of
Michael Erici
in a hand of
saec. XVII
. Two priests with that name are known from this period: the chaplain at
Kirkkonummi
in
1605
(
Strandberg 1832, vol. 1, 365
) and the castle preacher at
Turku castle
in
1634–35
(
Leinberg 1903, 252
). The latter’s hand is found in two documents attached to the records of taxes from
Masku
in
1633–34
(
Helsinki, National Archives, 1905, fol. 184r, and 1916, fol. 184r
), and seems to be the same as that found writing on the present .
The book came to the
National Library of Finland
at an unknown date.
