A financial register mainly concerning the estate of Nynäs in Nousis parish, although it also contains references to other estates with the same owner (e.g. Vik, fol. 44v: 'kom oc fra vik'). Nynäs was owned by Henrik Bidz at the beginning of the 16th century and it was passed on to his wife Anna Hansdotter Tott after his death in 1506.

This register is the oldest in a series of sixteenth-century financial records pertaining to Nynäs estate and the estates of Vik and Lahis which were closely linked to it.

An archival note on a piece of paper attached to the front cover reads: 'C 51 Räkenskaper för Nynäs i Finland 1506 1507 10 (slägt Fleming Bielke Bitz)'. An older marking on the cover itself reads: 'Nynäs Finland 1506; 1507 tillhörde slägten Fleming'.

The financial records of Nynäs came to the Swedish Crown, and later the Swedish National Archives, when the possessions and archives of Hogenskild Bielke were confiscated following his execution in 1605 (see Introduction to these descriptions).

Probably moved to Codices C from Bielkesamlingen (see this same section in the description of C 52).
