Summary

An inventory of the estate of the deceased Jean Joseph François de Tertulle, marquis de la Roque. The inventory of the house on Rue du Ginjoullier in Carpentras divides the possessions by the rooms in which they are located. The inventory contains a list of the books found in the possession of the marquis (f.79r-83v) and a long list of papers and documents (f.90r-180v). The marquis's papers are divided into two series and individually numbered. The materials preceding the inventory include a declaration by the widow of de Tertulle, Marie Chrestine de Thezan Venasque, and the appointment of Joseph Louis Devillario, notary and scribe of the rectorie of Comtat Venaissin, as compiler of this inventory (signature, f. 218v).
