Reading notes

Notarial document on parchment, prepared as a public instrument (revelation/extraction) by notary Andreas Poppi based on the draft (minute) of the deceased notary Martino Basso. In the lower left corner, a hand-drawn notarial sign (a column topped with a radiant sun, on a pedestal a shield with the monogram APN and the motto 'POST NUBILA PHOEBUS'). On the verso, an interesting note in Russian informing about the discovery of the parchment in Telvo near Borgo in South Tyrol in 1916 (during World War I), from where it reached the collections of the Shevchenko Scientific Society in Lviv.
