MEDIEVAL NOTARY MANUSCRIPT ON VELLUM, 30 December 1400.
A long scroll of parchment (126x26 cm), written in brown ink by a 15th century notary handwriting .
4-lines capital I drawn in pen at the beginning of the document. At the lower left, the signum tabellionis of the notary Bindus de Balbiano near his signature.
This ponderous and early document regards the sale of a farm in the area of Colognole (near Florence, in the area of Chianti) from Jacopo de Covonibus to Francesco called Ciappon. Both De Covonibus family was an important Florentine family since Middle Ages; the Ciapponi surname still survives.
