1511 - Antiguo pergamino en Latín escritura dotal corona de Aragón - 1511

Original notarial document dated in the year 1511, wholly written in Latin and belonging to the territorial and legal realm of the old Crown of Aragon. It is a "Constitución Dotal" (dowry contract), a legal instrument of great importance at the time to establish the economic basis of the marriage and protect the patrimony contributed by the parties. On the exterior cover (plica), drafted as an index for its historical archive, one can read clearly: "Constitucio Dotal vide Cap.ts Matrim. Nº 4. Garballer vide Fluvia". This annotation directly identifies the lineages involved in the contract, formally linking the Garballer and Fluvia families. From paleographic and linguistic points of view, the manuscript stands out for its use of rigorous legal Latin and for its carefully executed notarial Gothic cursive calligraphy, characteristic of the early years of the sixteenth century. The state of preservation is excellent: the medium retains its structural firmness and the ink preserves a strong contrast that allows full reading of the document without text loss, showing only the natural creases derived from its secular storage
