[MANUSCRIT] Livre de raison (..) moy Cornaud, notaire royal (..) demeurant à Grenoble, sollicit[eur de?] plusieurs procez par devant la Cour, contenant ce que je reçois des p[ar]ties, l'argent que je preste leur (..). S.l. [Grenoble], s.d. (1616-1628), in-4, 95 ff., [3] ff. n. ch., all covered in a medium, cursive and difficult to read handwriting (about 30 lines per page), with numerous strikethroughs, especially at the end, soft vellum, smooth muted spine, title pushed in ink on the first cover (and almost erased), traces of laces (period binding). Purely professional, this livre de raison runs from October 1616 to December 1628; it records all deposits and advances of money made to Me Cornaud's office in connection with lawsuits held before the Court of Parliament in Grenoble (Parlement du Dauphiné). The title is partly obliterated by missing paper, and has been approximately reconstructed. (Significant wetness throughout, first few pages show loss of letters due to damp).
