Summary

A survey of property of the fief Castelnau-de-Lévis, in Tarn, France. Concerns land-holdings of the lords of this region, which include Ste. Croix, St. Sernin, La Bastide, Castelnau-de-Lévis (also known as Castelnau-de-Bonafous), near Albi. Organized by location, and containing names of tenants along with rents. Also includes many mentions of vineyards. Contains three notes, one of which is an 18th-century French description of the manuscript. The other notes are written in two different near-contemporary hands, one containing similar information about rents, the other containing a mostly illegible note. Text of a charter dated 1343, very faded, added at end of manuscript (f. lviiii verso).
