FACSIMILE EDITION
Free of land divisions between vehicles of the most noble and loyal Ciutat de Oriola
The codex, with somewhat deteriorated wooden covers, has some
dimensions of 42O by 27O cm. Its interior is made up of eighty-seven
parchment folios, well preserved, two-column manuscript, with handwriting
pre-humanistic Gothic, datable to the first half of the XIV whose initials appear
illuminated in red and blue. Its pages are divided into two columns,
in which the name and surname of the beneficiary is clearly noted,
profession, sometimes origin and the lot of land granted in tahúllas,
whose quantity is expressed in Roman numerals. There are surnames of
noble lineage along with others with more modest professions such as skinners,
shoemakers, fusteros or stone masters. Aspects of interest covered
in the text are those referred to the reconstruction and care of ditches, azarbes and
waterwheels, road maintenance and conservation of fountains and land use
common.
