Physical Characteristics or Technical Requirements:
This collection is very fragile, with many items needing professional conservation treatment, to include unfolding large pieces
of parchment. When this treatment is complete, the items will be rehoused and a box/folder listing will be made.
In this inventory, the place and date of each document is listed first. If there are several entries on the same document,
they are listed as [a], [b], etc. The Venetian style of dating and normal useage of spelling and proper names have been standarized.
