A reading out of a manuscript from 1601, found in the City Archive of Tallinn, Estonia, with an introduction, English translation, commentaries, and the original manuscript photographed The property of the Royal Secretary and Trustee of John III of Sweden, Henrik Matsson Huggut, was confiscated during the dynastic and religious controversies in 1601.
