I:

Fols. 1r–14r: A register of fines from Åland, 21 January to 26 August 1548. The winter sessions were presided over by an unnamed judge and the summer sessions by Claus Holst.

II:

Fols. 1r–23v: A register of fines from Åland, 16 February to July 1549 (there are several entries lacking an exact date). The sessions were presided over by Claus Holst.

[1r] 49 sacköres bock (fol. 1v is blank) [2r] The 16 dagen februarii hult Olauus Holstt winter ting med Almogen i Hammarlandh Ssokn I Erlig mans Näruare Olaff trottesson häris höffding ... [23v] ... Rettades saköre penning 49 marker. (fol. 24 is blank)

 Paper I: 16 folios; II: 24 folios. 20-20,5 29-31 I: 20 × 29 (varies), II: 20,5 × 31 (varies) No foliation. I: II(2III)16; contains two trinio-quires placed within a quire of two bifolia. II: I(III+VIII)24; contains two quires placed within a single bifolium.

Two separate parts. Both parts are in relatively good condition. There is some fraying along the edges and some moisture damage, but no loss of text.

Two different watermarks: I has a glove with a flower with five leaves on top of it and letters ’RB’ inside (similar to Piccard online no. 155784); II has an ewer with one handle and a crown and flower on top of it (similar but not identical to Piccard online no. 31524).

 In both, one unruled column, number of lines varies.

I: Two main hands writing a cursive script: the first writes fols. 1–7. The second, fols. 9–14.

II: The whole of part II is written in the second hand of I.

In I (fols. 1–7) later markings in a different ink, and possibly by another hand.

The headings are written in a more formal script. Otherwise, no decoration.

Both sections consist of simple string-bound quires without covers.

There are two manuscripts: part I has two sections of different quality. The beginning of the manuscript is apparently a rough draft, with frequent cancellations and additions. The second section records proceedings by the same judge who appears in manuscript II, Claus Holst. It appears a more finished product and is written by the same scribe as manuscript II, which seems to be a transcript, although there are a few cancellations, and several entries lack exact dates. The writing was probably done soon after the actual court sessions.

Contemporaneous headings and binding suggests the manuscripts were kept as separate units from the start. They did, however, belong to the same collection.

I, fol. 1r: ‘203’. A modern hand has numbered the manuscripts as ‘1’ (I) and ‘2’ (II). Apart from this, there are no provenance markings.

The later history of the manuscripts is not known. The material was possibly first moved to the Svea court of appeals and subsequently to the Swedish National Archives. It is not mentioned in Almquist’s (1945) or Sleman’s (1961) inventories.
