Various post-medieval endorsements, including Cotté A 1er (s.xviii). The word Iohan repeated twice on the inside of the fold, presumably as the opening word of a draft never completed. Approx. 220 X 188 + 38mm. For the nuns of Fontaine-Guérand, founded c.1198 by Robert earl of Leicester, see Cottineau 1173; E. Chevalier in Annales de Normandie, lxxvi (1909), 194-201; Potthast, 4280-1. |
