Remarks

On both verso sides, the note 'Coersel 1529' can be read. Both fragments were used to cover and protect the wax seal on two different charters related to the town of Koersel (Limburg) from 1529, and presumably separated around the same time. Fragment 37 was used for charter 3257, while Fragment 41 was used for charter 3256.
