Identified parties include Guillemius Rosynoll (Guillelmus Rossignol?), Bertrand de Layla, Colars Ligotisieres, William le Carher, Henricus de Avila, Pey Renaud, Guilhem Jaubert, Joannes Baptista Coccinus, Petrus de Casa.

CustodialHistory | This small collection of deeds was found in 2014 boxed with the collection of MS fragments (see MS FRAG), but the provenance of the deeds is unknown. Some have damage that indicates they were probably used as book coverings or otherwise recycled as binders' waste. |
