Provenance:
Produced probably in Flanders, and dated 1182 within the document. The identifying inscriptions on the dorse of the document: along the top, possibly a thirteenth-century hand, "confirmatio Willelmi archiepiscopi remorum supra terra de hulsendam et de nova ecclesia et balliola."; below fold line, an early-modern script: "Confirmation de la donation de hulsendam de L'archevesque de Reims faict par Philippe Comte de Flandre aux Dames de Messines. Carte B 1 l'an 1180 [sic]"; inscription in pencil of "1182" immediately below; along the bottom, possibly the same hand as the inscription along the top: "Per Willelmi archiepiscopi Remorum supra terra de hulsendam." Abbey of Messines was destroyed in WWI and restored in 1931 as the crypt of a new church. The Abbey held the document in 1876. Purchased by Special Collections, Waldo Library from Mackus Company, Fairlawn Ohio in May of 2004.
