STENO (Michael, c. 1331-1413, from 1400 Doge of Venice)

Confirmation of title, in Latin with translation, to Antonio de Rigo, (of the district of San Felice), who has brought two documents to court, the first is a sale to him for 17 lire by his wife Agnesina of property in the 'Sancti Hermaci' district, the quotations describe in great and interesting detail the bounds on four sides and accompanying rights of entry and exit "to the common way leading to the canal" or else "to the lagoon", and the conduits carrying rain water to the well in the courtyard, mentioning a door "which ought to be shut and walled up at the expense" of Marino Blanco, who holds part of the property, and the right to light in the courtyard, at the rear is a garden and latrine, the Doge's examining Judges had valued the property and caused it to be offered for sale by the public crier, only Antonio came forward with his 10% deposit, so Agnesina's sale to him took place, the second document quoted is Antonio's 'investiture without proof' which is made absolute following a year's quiet possession, presumably Agnesina had been unable to provide her own proof of title, hence the present level of detail, in an attractive hand, vellum, 10¼" x 11¾", Venice, 24th May trimmed at foot following the text, lacks seal
