RENAISSANCE NOTARY MANUSCRIPT ON VELLUM, Verona, 2 June 1505.
A long scroll of parchment (79x30 cm), written by a 16th century cursive writing in sepia ink. Text in Latin.
4-lines capital I drawn in pen at the beginning of the document. At the upper left corner of the page, the signum tabellionis of the notary Nicola de Barberiis.
A contract in which Stefanina, wife of Antonio de Tinonibus, and Pietro de Bonalini sell to Danesio de Buris some cultivated lands in Lazise (a small town on Garda Lake), in contrada Mondragone for 200 Ducats of gold.
The Buri family was very influential in Verona. The friar Fino de' Buri was prior of the Augustinian monastery of Santa Eufemia in 1262. In 1405 Galvano Buri, ascribed to the Noble Council of Verona, was one of the leaders of the College of Notaries. The descendants of Galvano obtained by the Venetians the title of count, with jurisdiction over the town of Villa Bartolommea, Lazise and San Bonifacio. The family also owned other properties in Verona and in its province. With the permission of the Venetians who ruled the Verona region, the Buri family built the villa near the Adige (still existing) that bears their name (Villa Bernini Buri).
