Summary:

Fourteen notarial documents from S[an?] Luca, in Padua. Most concern sales, transfer of money, and the transfer of land. Some of the names which appear frequently include Johannes a Prato, Aycha Bangi, Johannes d'Este, and Mascara de Mascaris. Several documents mention the monastery Santissima Trinità e San Michele Arcangelo di Brondolo, referred to in the manuscripts as Sanctae Trinitatis de Brundolo. Nearly all of the documents refer to various people from Bagnoli, either the town or the family. Each document contains a notarial signet, and has a short summary with the date and location written in a slightly later hand on the upper verso. The documents also bear non-consecutive numbers, some crossed out, in the same hand on the upper verso.
