Vol. 10. Unit 3 1524–1529 A register of finances

A register of finances concerning the Finnish possessions of Anna Hansdotter Tott, namely Nynäs, Vik, and Lahis. The contents are not fully in chronological order, although the first few folios are the oldest ones (1524−1525). The contents mostly consist of notes concerning tenants of the aforementioned estates (or possibly only one or two of them).

 Paper 51 folios. 11 29,5 Text area varies. Foliation in upper right-hand corner, possibly made with a stamp. An unclear quire structure. Folios cut out and extra ones pasted in. Associated leaves are roughly as follows: 1−6, 7−10, 11−20, 21−25, 26−29, 30−35, 36−44, 45−51. Text in a single column, not ruled.

Several hands and different inks.

No decoration.

Limp binding of brown leather. The back cover is extended into a wrap-around flap with a tie of sturdy light-coloured string sewn onto the flap used to close the volume.

A somewhat disorganized manuscript written in a style similar to other registers surviving from the same time period from Nynäs and related estates. Most likely written little by little over a period of several years. Clearly not a transcription.

This manuscript is part of a large block of records from the 16th century pertaining to the estates of Nynäs, Vik, and Lahis, which were managed as a whole. A likely place of writing is Nynäs estate, but the records could equally well have been written elsewhere.

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).
