Summary

A record of receipts of feudal rents from the properties of Seaulx, la Fillotiere, Crisse, and Langevine. All of the properties mentioned in the manuscript as well as Mathurin de Montalais's estate of Chambellay are located in the area of Angers, in the Maine-et-Loire department of northwestern France. The locations of the properties are usually recorded above the main entries; the entries themselves indicate the subjects paying the rents and the amounts tendered. Each page usually contains just one entry, although sometimes another entry appears upside down at the bottom of the page. The writing varies in length significantly. There are marginal notes next to many of the entries, indicating the last names of the tenants and the specific plots of land they occupy. 8 leaves with accounts and ledgers are pasted in front of the main text.
