Espagne - Catalogne – 8 manuscrits notariés du XVIIIe siècle (1760–1783) – Testaments, successions et sceaux - 1787

Interesting set of eight handwritten Spanish documents from the 18th century, including notarial acts, testamentary dispositions, and items relating to successions and family estates.

These documents concern notably the Planas, Campà, and Domènech families, established in the region of Castelló d’Empúries, in Catalonia.

Several acts bear Spanish fiscal seals impressed with the royal coat of arms, with references to tax values and dates from the 18th century.

The documents are mainly written in Old Catalan, in beautiful handwritten scripts in brown ink, presenting numerous signatures, paraphs, and calligraphic embellishments.

The collection constitutes a historical testimony of notarial practices, property transfers, successions, and the lives of Catalan families under the Ancien Régime.
