Capbreu, a list of feudal obligations, - of the Parochial Church of St. Boi de Lluçanès, Catalonia of the Parochial Church of St. Boi de Lluçanès, Catalonia , in Old Catalan on parchment [the parent manuscript dated 4 September 1329] Leaf with single column, 10 lines in the fine vernacular bookhand of Pere de Zafala, rector and notary, small spots and stains, pencil notation at base in hand of B. Ferrini, else good condition, 153mm. by 102mm. Early medieval witnesses to any form of Spanish are of extreme rarity. The first sentence in Catalan (recorded in a now-lost manuscript) dates to the eighth century, but the earliest substantial records are documents of the eleventh and twelfth centuries. During the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries the language entered a golden age with the work of Ramon Lull and its use for literary composition. The parent manuscript was drawn up in 1329 as a final record of the settlement of a disputed ownership claim over the fortress of nearby Montorroell (named on both sides of the present leaf), which was eventually granted by Marchesia de Portella, wife of the lord of Lluçà, to Galçerandus de Bisaura in fief to her. The whole manuscript was in the collection of Herman Scheuch, US Consul in Barcelona (1874-1892). Parts of the collection passed to Georgetown University and the Smithsonian, with this book acquired by Ferrini, who cut it up and sold a handful of leaves before a private European collector bought the bulk of it. There is a single folio in a private collection in Princeton.
