The manuscript contains the accounts of Krister Klasson Horn’s estates from 1585 (and an inventory for 1586), written after Krister had received his part of an inheritance. The manuscript was written by an experienced scribe – likely one working for Krister Horn, and it was probably at some point one part of a larger collection.

It was possibly kept at the family estate in Åminne, and may have been confiscated after Krister Horn was sentenced for acting against King Karl IX, either in 1600 (first sentence) or 1605 (second sentence).
