    Remarks

    The fragment was used as a cover for a register of rents. There is a first annotation by a later owner in the upper margin (fol. 1): 'Registre des cens [...] la recepte de Melemont appartenans a monsieur [...] 1644'.There's also a second annotation by a later owner in the outer margin (fol. 2v): "Provient des 'Etablissements religieux" n° 3936'. The farm of Mellemont, in Perwez, belonged to the abbey of Villers and the register may have a Villers connection.
