Antiphonarium Dominicanum (C.ö.I.9)

A somewhat fragmentary copy of a catholic antiphonary, prepared by several scribes, possibly during a longer period of time, in the reformation period. Owned and probably used by several priests in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the book found its way finaly to Tammela church, from where it was removed to Helsinki in 1882.

Graduale (MS A.ö.II.55, Ilmajoen graduale)

A graduale (defect) from Ilmajoki. Written in three parts, part I (fols. 1-134) dating probably from the 1540's, part II (fols. 135-140) probably from the 1550's and part III (fols. 141-194) from the 1530's.

Graduale (MS Coll. 762.3)

A Lutheran gradual copied apparently by one scribe at the end of the sixteenth century and probably repaired (fol. 29) in the beginning of the seventeenth century.

Graduale (MS C.ö.III.17)

A Lutheran gradual from Kalanti. As covers used a fragment of the Liturgical calendar of the Diocese of Turku, Saec. XIV 2/2, Diocese of Turku.

Missale (C.ö.IV.9, Oripään missale II)

A (mainly votive) missal consisting of seven distinct parts. Put together in several stages, somewhat haphazardly. Parts II and III are probably the oldest parts. The final stage in the composition of the book is probably the addition of part VII. Part II belongs in the same liturgical tradition as C.ö.IV.7 (Oripään Missale I), probably that of Diocese of Linköping. Part III, a votive missal, is an informal copy of a book that would most probably have been used close to a Swedish cathedral (Linköping?). How the present book found its way to Oripää chapel is not known.

Kyriale, Sequentiarium (MS C.ö.I.23)

A graduale and a sequentiarium were copied in the reformation period for use in the Diocese of Turku, possibly in Raisio. The graduale in Finnish appears to depend on Jacobus Finno's hymnbook of 1586, whereas the sequentiarium is probably somewhat older, possibly even coeval with Mathias Westh's liturgical codex (1540's). The present fragments probably come from at least two (possibly three) originally distinct books or booklets.

Antiphonarium (MS C.ö.III.22, "Pöytyän antifonarium")

A Lutheran copy of a Dominican antiphonary, copied with modifications some time after the middle of the sixteenth century. The very selective sanctoral reflects Lutheran tastes, with only biblical saints (and possibly St Henry).

Antiphonarium (MS C.ö.III.20, "Michael Ericin antifonarium")

A copy of a Dominican antiphonary produced for Lutheran use in the second half of the sixteenth century. The sanctoral reflects Lutheran tastes, with St Henry, the patron of Finland, being the only non-biblical saint.

Graduale (MS A.ö.II.41, "Graduale Uskelense")
