History

Origin

Sweden, Uppland, 14th century,

Provenance

According to a note on f. 6v the manuscript belonged to the church in Hammarby, Uppland in 1621. The note is probably by Martin Aschaneus (1575-1641), a pastor of the church, who was appointed antiquarian in 1630.

Listed as ‘Communis piusque modus Dedicationis et Consecrationis Ecclesia Dei’ in a list of books and manuscripts delivered from Martin Aschaneus’s collection to the College of Antiquities (later Antiquities Archive) in 1641, see Lundström (1906), pp. 261–265 and Gödel (1916), pp. 219–220.

Current signum, ‘A 16’, first established in Helin’s catalogue from the 1720s (U 91:2:2).

Also mentioned in the following catalogues and inventories: U 90:4, p. 65, ‘no. 11’; U 91:1,‘ L 11’.
