Notaire under the Reign King Louis XII

ENGLISH: Catalog Description & Legal Background Historically Significant Notarial Cahier (1512/1547) – Perpetual Lease & Land Transfer in Varennes / Mâcon (Burgundy) Date: Precisely dated March 8, 1512 (8 mars 1512 / l'an 1511 style de Pâques) with subsequent legal endorsements and transfers (Transport) up to 1547. Format: Complete 8-page original notarial booklet (Cahier) on handmade laid paper, including its original archival cover. Language: Early Modern French (Middle French) with Latin notarial formulas. Origin: Mâcon / Varennes (Burgundy region, France). Condition: Very good, unrestored original condition. Strong ink, stable paper with watermarks, minor age-related wear along margins not affecting core text. Content and Historical Significance: This rare manuscript contains a perpetual lease (Arbergement perpétuel et Rente) and the legal conveyance (Transport) of land rights. The deed concerns meadows, woodland, ditches, and farmland (pré, fosses, terre et bois) in the area of Banans near Varennes. The contracting parties include the holder Jean Sormy (dit le Cormier) and the nobleman Philibert de Beccrombe. The deed establishes the grant of the land in exchange for a fixed, annual perpetual rent (rente/pension). Key Features for Collectors: Completeness: A rare intact Cahier preserved with its original dossier cover (Prys de Varennes / L'arbergement perpetel). Legal History: A fully traceable title deed originating from the reign of King Louis XII of France. Authentication: Issued under the royal seal of the bailiwick court of Mâcon (Seel Commun Royal du Bailliage de Mascon). Legal Practices of the Early 16th Century Perpetual Lease (Arbergement perpétuel): In 16th-century France, outright land sales were uncommon. Instead, perpetual leases were used. The tenant obtained perpetual usufruct for himself and his heirs in perpetuity in exchange for a fixed annual rent. Dual Ownership (Domaine direct vs. Domaine utile): Property law divided ownership into direct ownership (Domaine direct – retained by the lord Philibert de Beccrombe) and usufruct (Domaine utile – transferred to Jean Sormy, allowing him to cultivate, bequeath, or transfer the land). Linguistic Transition: The notarial booklet being largely in Early Modern French by 1512 demonstrates the rise of the vernacular language in legal affairs before the Edict of Villers-Cotterêts (1539). Calendar Reckoning (Style de Pâques): The year in Burgundy began at Easter (Style de Pâques). A document dated March 8, 1511, before Easter, corresponds in modern calendar terms to March 8, 1512. The Transport (Conveyance): As a perpetual lease granted a lasting right, transfers when ownership changed hands (e.g., to later generations) were noted as transports directly on the margins of the free space or on the cover of the original document.

Contenu et intérêt historique : Ce rare manuscrit comprend un bail à rentes perpétuel (Arbergement perpétuel) ainsi que le transfert juridique de propriété (Transport). L'acte porte sur des prés, bois, fossés et terres cultivables (pré, fosses, terre et bois) situés au lieu-dit Banans près de Varennes. Les parties contractantes sont notamment le détenteur Jean Sormy (dit le Cormier) et le noble Philibert de Beccrombe. L'acte règle la concession des terres contre une rente annuelle perpétuelle. Éléments remarquables pour collectionneurs : Intégrité : Rare cahier intact conservé avec sa couverture d'origine (Prys de Varennes / L'arbergement perpetel). Histoire du droit : Titre de propriété complet datant du règne du roi Louis XII de France. Authentification : Délivré sous le scellé royal du bailliage de Mâcon (Seel Commun Royal du Bailliage de Mascon). Les pratiques juridiques au début du XVIe siècle L'arbergement perpétuel : Au XVIe siècle, la vente ferme de terres était rare. On lui préférait l'arbergement perpétuel (bail à rente). Le preneur recevait le domaine utile pour lui et ses héritiers à perpétuité contre une redevance annuelle fixe (rente). La dualité de propriété (Domaine direct vs Domaine utile) : Le droit distinguait le domaine direct (conservé par le seigneur Philibert de Beccrombe) du domaine utile (transféré à Jean Sormy, lui permettant d'exploiter, léguer ou céder la terre). Évolution linguistique : La rédaction en moyen français dès 1512 témoigne de la montée de la langue vernaculaire dans les actes notariés, devançant l'ordonnance de Villers-Cotterêts (1539). Le calendrier (Style de Pâques) : En Bourgogne, l'année civile débutait à Pâques. Un acte daté du 8 mars 1511 (avant Pâques) correspond dans notre calendrier moderne au 8 mars 1512. Le Transport (Cession de droits) : Les mutations ultérieures du droit d'arbergement étaient directement annotées sur les espaces libres ou la couverture du document original sous forme de transports.

An act executed on March 8, 1511 (before Easter) corresponds to March 8, 1512, on the modern Gregorian calendar. The Transport (Conveyance): Because perpetual leases were enduring rights, subsequent transfers to heirs or buyers were directly endorsed as transports on the blank margins or cover of the original manuscript.
