Description
narrow folio-size paper, c. 28,5 x 10,5 cm, sewn and unbound in coarse wr. (dampstained); kept in a half cloth box (cardboard sides def.), filled up with a similar sewn vol. of blank paper (some ff. seriously dampstained or with ink fading, a few tears), [1 blank]-[1]-110-[4] ff. (f. 10 torn out; ff. 48-50 & 53-55 loose; ff. 21, 23, 37, 38, 41, 42, 47, 59, 66, 72, 92, 97, 98, 102, 105-107, 110-[114] blank). In reasonably good condition.
Fascinating document on (ecclesiastical) life in late medieval Girona (and Catalonia) 1496-1498, compiled by Johan Beuda, canon of the Cathedral Church of Saint Mary and principal of its Latin School. The detailed account of his expenses and income is a “Fundgrube” for local social and economic historians, linguists etc., and an interesting source for prosopographical research. On f. [1] a Latin list of ecclesiastical dignitaries involved, i.a. "episcopus, archidiaconus, sacrista". Some names: “don Jaime de Cardona, Sagrista maior”, “Barthomeu Strada cirurgia y familiar de nostro santo pare alexandro sesto” (a “Barthomeu Strada” is listed in the "fogatge" ["hearth tax"] of 1497).
