EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures two fragments of an ancient charter, dating back to the year 1440. The parchment pieces, which have been repurposed as binding material for a book, once recorded a mortgage for a house. The text, written in a dark brown-black ink in a beautiful gothic cursive hand, is mostly present when the fragments are laid side by side. However, the edges of the second piece have been roughly cut, and some sections from the top two lines are missing. The charter, written in a German dialect, possibly Middle Franconian, provides a glimpse into the past, offering insights into the legal transactions of the medieval period. The fragments are now preserved in the UCL Library Services Digital Collections and include a 19th/20th century transcription of the text for easier understanding. The use of parchment, a material made from animal skin, was common during this time for important documents due to its durability and longevity. The fragments offer a tangible connection to the past, allowing us to explore the history of property transactions and the intricacies of medieval manuscripts.
