A financial record revolving mostly around Lahis estate but most naturally seen as part of a large collection of surviving manuscripts concerning the estate-complex of Nynäs, Vik, and Lahis. This register is the second oldest in the series of sixteenth-century financial records pertaining to these estates.

The financial records of Nynäs and related estates 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).

An archival note attached to the front cover reads: 'C52. Räkenskaper för Nynäs I Finland 1514−1519 1520 (slägt Fleming Bielke o. Tott)' and 'Lahis'. Previously part of the Bielkesamlingen from which it has been moved to Codices C (f. 1 has a marking 'Från Bielkesamlingen').
