Provenance:
Produced in France at the Cistercian Abbey of La Garde-Dieu (Cottineau 1: 1253) and dated 1 March 1241. La Garde-Dieu in the diocese of Cahors, was founded in 1150 as a daughter-house of Aubazine. The Abbey is a few miles south of Catelnau-Montratier, the new fortified town built by Ratier, the father of the grantor, on the site of a town destroyed by Simon de Montfort. On the reverse side of the document are several different inscriptions in various hands including: a summary of the charter and the date "1241" in an early hand; the number "144" in an early hand; the number "9352" in pencil in a modern hand; two inscriptions in fourteenth- or fifteenth-century scripts; "chapitre chronologique" in a seventeenth- through nineteenth-century script. Purchased by Alan G Thomas in 1970 from the Phillips Collection and acquired by the Mackus Company shortly thereafter; purchased by Special Collections, Waldo Library from Mackus Company, Fairlawn, Ohio on May 8, 1999.
