Description

This document, dated 29 October 954, records a transfer of property between individuals in the county of Girona. The sale of a vineyard and land by Engòncia to the priest Aitó reflects the forms of ownership and transmission of goods in an early medieval rural society. Its uniqueness lies in the explicit mention of the parish of Sant Martí d’Arenys, a fact that allows us to identify the ecclesiastical and territorial structure of the time. It is a valuable testimony of everyday life and the consolidation of written law in Catalonia.
