About This Item

Basingstoke, England, 1591. Ink on parchment. Two manuscript leaves, folded and creased. Top of larger leaf slightly frayed, some minor fading of ink. Smaller charter is attached to the larger with a parchment tie at bottom. Parchment hanging tag appended to larger leaf may have had a seal appended, but none remains. Else good. Ink on parchment. A late sixteenth-century will with an earlier family charter. Two attached manuscripts: the larger is the last will and testament of one Gilberte Lookar, of Basingstoke, England, dated 1591, and is in English; the smaller is a tenure document of John Lookar. It is in a slightly crabbed, possibly earlier hand and is in Latin.
