Condition
The booklet is in bad shape. The leaves are torn at the edges and frail. Almost all leaves also suffer from water damage, but the text is still legible. The first and last leaves are considerably darker than the rest, which indicates the booklet has been kept in its current shape for some time.

Provenance
Eary provenance unknown. The text has been in Sweden since at least 1700. The booklet was probably originally part of a larger manuscript, but the first known evidence for its provenance lists it in its current shape. This evidence is the catalogue of the Antiquties Archive from 1700 (U 91:2a, formerly 91:3), where it is listed as ‘No 17’.
In the list of manuscripts transferred from the Antiquities Archive (U 125e:3) it is listed as ‘No 24’. The signum ‘19’, the deleted signum on f. 1r, has not been indentified.
