A disorderly register with different sections on the finances of Vik estate. Has the character of a notebook perhaps used as a draft for fair-copy records. The register is a part of a large block of records from the 16th century pertaining to the estates of Nynäs, Vik, Kyllelä, and Lahis.

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).
