Description:
Fifteenth-century, French receipt by Charles, Duke of Orleans' valet for money received from the Duke's treasury. The Duke, who had run into financial difficulties several years earlier during his 25-year captivity in England, took a book of ballads from the valet and gave it to a money lender, presumably as collateral security. The money lender appears to have absconded with the book. See bibliographic file for complete transaction and translation.
