A fragment containing court records of sessions presided over by Mikael Påvalsson 1596 in Pohjois-Pohjanmaa. Presumably the leaves stem from what was once a larger collection.

The later history of the manuscript is unknown. Probably it was sent to Sweden after its writing and shipped back to Finland after the Hamina accords of 1809. National Archives's shelf-mark '4809a' on a label pasted to the last leaf of the preceeding part.
