Notary Marks from the Hanks Family Manuscript Collection

This database, created by Reba Kocher, uses examples of notary marks from Southern French legal documents from the Hanks Family Manuscript Collection on deposit at The Ohio State University's Rare Books and Manuscripts Library. These documents range from the fifteenth to the seventeenth centuries and originate from Southern France around Rabastens. With the limited information on medieval notaries, this database aims to assist scholars in notarial research by presenting photographs for comparison.
