Paper.The watermark is a latin cross entwined by a snake. The cross is leaning on a house with a hipped roof or a shrine with an iron-plated door.
The written pages are foliated 1-13 by Kålund in red ink.
The content consists of texts on and illustrations of runic stones, grave slabs and a single inscription on a church wall. The text and illustrations are, with few exceptions, only found at the recto pages. It is written in long lines but the number of lines varies according to how much information has been noted down for each monument. On fols 1v + 2r and 8v + 9r the text is written on the verso-leaf while the illustration is made on the following verso-leaf, in this way matching the text. On fols 5r, 6r, 7r, 10r, 11r, 12r and 13r, the text is placed under the illustration or the inscription; on fol. 7v the text is placed above the illustration. The first and the three last leaves are blank. Fols 1r, 2v, 3v, 4v, 5v, 8r and 12v are also blank.
Written and drawn by Jonas Skonvig.
Representation of the monuments, all are pencil drawings.

Written in Denmark in 1627, after 9 August.
The illlustrated pamphlets of notes, AM 366-371 fol. forms part of a larger corpus commonly referred to as Præsteindberetninger til Ole Worm (‘Priests’ Reports submitted to Ole Worm’). In the seventeenth century the doctor, scholar of antiquities and polymath Worm collected curiosities for his private collection of antiquities, Museum Wormianum, while simultaneously pursuing an interest in prehistoric Denmark, and in particular runic inscriptions. To this end, on 11. ágúst 1622, Worm sent a missive to every bishop in Denmark requesting that they instruct their rectors to investigate ancient monuments found in their parishes, and primarily objects featuring runic inscriptions. Worm then used these handwritten reports as the basis of his printed book, Monumenta Danica from 1643, a work which laid the foundations of runic research in Denmark.
What links AM 366-371 fol. together is that they contain some of the earliest written accounts of runic inscriptions and petroglyphs in the former Danish kingdom, which at that time encompassed Skåne, Halland and Blekinge in present-day Sweden, Norway, including Bohuslän (which at that time was part of Norway) as well as Iceland and the Faroe Islands.
Catalogued by . The information on the runic inscriptions is mainly based on Danmarks runeindskrifter and the internet database Danske runeindskrifter.
