 Paper 60 folios + a paper slip 15 20,5 Text area varies. Foliation in pencil on the lower right-hand corner. 5VI60 Five quires of six bifolia each. The second contains a slip numbered 18 ½. Text in a single column, not ruled.

Several hands typical of mid-16th-century Swedish cameral records.

No decoration.

Currently not bound, but sewing holes are visible. The quires were previously bound to a parchment wrapper now preserved in a separate archival sleeve. The parchment leaf came from a 15th-cent. missale (32 x 45 (21 x 31,5), two columns with 29 lines of text) which provided wrappers for a number of other accounts (see Stockholm, National Archives, Fr 10942).

The manuscript is a well written register of inventories concerning the landed estates of Anna Clemetsdotter Hogenskild in Finland. These possessions included the estates of Nynäs, Vik, Kyllelä, and Lahis and large number of tenant farms pertaining to these estates. This register is part of a large group of financial documents surviving from these estates.

The manuscript was in continual use over the indicated time period as shown by the chronological order of the registers, the changing hands, blank folios left between sections, and a clear change in the content of the documents towards the end.

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).
