RENAISSANCE NOTARY MANUSCRIPT ON VELLUM, Verona, 4 March 1561.
A scroll of parchment (70x24 cm), written by a 16th century cursive writing in sepia ink. Text in Latin.
At the upper left corner of the page, the signum tabellionis of the notary Fortunato Seraricus from contrada San Fermo.
A lease contract in which the lessee Federico de Caballis, rents to Francesco Mantovani a land to cultivate in Persacco (now Perzacco, near Verona). The contract is renewable every ten years.
It is interesting to report that, in this document like in other similar contracts of the same area, the payment is often annually agreed "on the Feast of the Assumption of Mary", the 15th of August, and the sum to correspond is a part of the harvested wheat and a "big capon".
