Authentic handwritten legal document from 1617, recording a dispute brought before a local Italian court. Written in iron gall ink in a flowing 17th-century secretary hand, the text mixes formal Latin notarial language with Italian. It is a genuine piece of early modern legal history, over 400 years old.
The paper shows age-appropriate toning, edge wear, and some staining consistent with its age. The text remains legible and the ink rich in tone. A great piece for collectors of manuscripts, early documents, Italian history, or legal ephemera, and it would display well framed.
