Description

The document contains a detailed catalog of the types of documents covered by the notary, it calculates the fees in proportion to the value of the property or the transaction, it foresees that two books must be made (the protocol and the notary, the latter extensive)… The period of 1727-1733 had not yet arrived when the royal power monopolized the public faith to the detriment of the ecclesiastical notary. In any case, regardless of the notary, public faith gives security and certainty to private legal relationships and this is basic in any society.
