A tenant register with a somewhat disorderly look. The wear and tear of the outer leaves suggests the manuscript has never been bound together with other manuscripts. A part of a large block of records from this period pertaining to the Finnish possessions of Anna Clemetsdotter Hogenskild.

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).
