Reading notes
Parchment document preserved in good condition, with minor abrasions along the fold lines. The seals of the judge and sub-judge on parchment strips are cut off/missing (incisions on the plica remain). On the verso, numerous later judicial and archival annotations from the 16th–18th centuries concerning the boundary dispute over the Glinna and Hodowica estates.
