About This Item
1600. Pen and ink on one parchment membrane, docketed and annotated heavily in several hands on the verso. 1 vols. 14 x 10 1/2 inches. Vellum. Some creasing and folds, incomplete: trimming on (recto) left hand side resulting in loss of text. Minor worming on bottom right corner. Else very good. Pen and ink on one parchment membrane, docketed and annotated heavily in several hands on the verso. 1 vols. 14 x 10 1/2 inches. Dated to the reign of King James, this indenture includes the unusual feature of two and a third lines of "x" marks and several inexpert signatures. Perhaps indicative of a break in the document, a reuse of parchment, or the marks of those who were not fully literate, this document provides a window into late medieval English documentary culture.
