. The text differs from the edition on several points: The prologue
is abridged, the section on St Birgitta
’s advice
to Magnus Eriksson
omitted, some other sections
abridged, section on the conflicts between Kings Karl
and Christiern
is an abridged
version (cf. pp. 236
–242
), which exchanges the order of different section and only
loosely matches the edited text. In several sections this manuscript represents the
first version of the chronicle, although it has been extended to 1520
.
On the different versions of the text, see Westin 1946

The first leaf of the first quire possibly used as the front-cover
pastedown. In the last quire, an additional leaf has been pasted on to fol. 149.
The manuscript is in good condition. Some of the leaf edges are darkened and pages
show evidence of dirt, but no losses of text occur.
One column with 35 lines of text. No ruling is
visible, but the regular size of the column and number of lines suggest some was
applied.
One main hand writing a steady cursive of
saec. XVI
. At least a few regularly appearing additional hands. One hand of
saec. XVI
writes notes in
Latin
and Swedish
in red ink. A hand of saec. XVIII
writes notes in Latin in
black ink. Mostly the notes concern the contents of respective sections (names,
years, etc.).The top and bottom lines contain some elongated letters. Occasional use of simply
drawn majuscule letters. Some letters highlighted in red (possibly later on).
Underlinings and marginal annotations in red.
Dark brown calf on thick wooden boards. Blind-tooled frames with decorative vines
and flowers. The leather has become worn out and been conserved with patches of
light brown leather. There are remnants of two hook-clasps with decorated catches on
the edge of the front cover. Paper pastedowns. The boards over-hang the text-block.
The shelf-mark and the title of the work have been written on paper labels on the
spine.
The manuscript contains a copy of . It was executed by an experienced scribe writing a steady hand. The
chronicle copied in the manuscript is one of the mixed versions described by
Olavus Petri
’s En Swensk
cröneka
Westin
(1946, 6–7)
. It contains the events up to the Stockholm blood-bath, but has a very
different and abridged version of the period 1463–1471
compared to Sahlgren’s
edition.The manuscript came to
Gödick Fincke
as an inheritance from his
father Gustav Fincke
in 1568
. Since the author, Olavus Petri, likely
finished his chronicle in the 1540s, the manuscript must have been written between
these two dates.The manuscript was inherited by
Gödik Fincke
from his father, Gustav Fincke
. The
note is dated 1568
, although Gustav had died in 1566
(http://www.kansallisbiografia.fi/kb/artikkeli/3921/
). Inner cover
: ‘Gödick fincke
äger denne Book den han äfther sin Salig fader ärffde haffer anno etc.
1568’. Gustav Fincke
, from whom the book stems, was the governor of
Finland
. Since the chronicle is not complimentary to King Gustav
, it seems plausible
it was first acquired by Gustav Fincke after the king’s decease in 1560.On the inside of the
back cover the title of King
John III
from 1569 is written out. ‘Thenn stormechtigte
högborrne härre och furste här Johann Thenn Tridie medh Gudz nådhe Swerigis ---
Vändis S--- --- --gers etc. konungh Anno etc. 1569’.The inside front cover also carries notes concerning
Gödik Fincke
and
the contents of the book written by Jöran A. Nordberg
(1677–1744) and Andreas O.
Rhyzelius
(1677–1761), both collectors of manuscripts and historians, who obviously
had the manuscript in their possession in saec. XVIII
.Later on, the manuscript came to
the collections of the
National Library of Sweden
. The shelf-mark of the
National Library ‘D 411’ is found on the spine and inner front cover.Cataloguer
