Fols. 1–36: Court records in draft from Hollola for the year 1585 (March to June). To judge by the chronology of the records, the current foliation seems incorrect in places. The first two leaves should be placed in the middle of the first quire, after fol. 13.

The leaves are in poor condition and have been heavily conserved. They show various stains and tears and holes, which in places renders the text illegible. One unruled column with a varying number of lines.

At least two main hands with further hands making additions and corrections.

No decoration.

Unbound singletons and bifolia kept in two gatherings.

The manuscript contains draft records from court sessions held in Hollola in 1585. It was written by a few skilled scribes. Several sections have been cancelled and multiple additions made, to suggest that these were notes that were subsequently processed. The manuscript has suffered a range of damage and the current ordering of pages is a reconstruction, which may be incorrect in places.

The later history of the manuscript and how it arrived in the Swedish National Archives is not known. Swedish National Archives’s stamp on the paper folder that surrounds the manuscript. On the same folder is the heading, ‘Koncept till Dombok vid Vinter- och Sommärtingen 1585 med Socknarne i Hollola härad’.
