[DOUAISIS ARCHIVES]
A significant COLLECTION comprising 62 handwritten documents spanning the 15th through the 17th centuries. Some of the documents, all on vellum or parchment, bear wax or paper seals.
Among these archives is a major document concerning Fontaine-Notre-Dame dated June 1613, land sales in Hennin in 1526, in Lambres-lez-Douay in 1528, and in Douai—such as the one from 1558— as well as a receipt for the bequest of a house from 1664, numerous annuity deeds such as the one from 1619 accompanied by its beautiful wax seal, annuity and bond deeds dated 1642, 1643, 1663, or 1670; sales of annuities dated 1537, 1543, or 1608, or the one made by the Baudelet family in 1640; the redemption of an inherited annuity from 1544; the transfer of an annuity dated January 20, 1609; a land debt dated 1598, bearing a beautiful seal; or even one from 1501 involving a mortgage; and an acknowledgment of debt from 1442.
These annuities are often accompanied by receipts, such as those from 1515, 1688, or the one concerning the town of Arleux, signed by De Cormont, from 1623, the one signed by Delebarre in 1649 with its beautiful wax seal, or the one signed by A. Bocquet on June 6, 1682, also bearing a seal; leases (1537); petitions (1671); powers of attorney (1486, 1553, and 1719), letters of release (1759), marriage contracts (1480), a will from 1506, partitions of estates (1541), guardianship accounts (1587), deeds of gift (1533), seizures—such as the one in Lambres in 1718 or the one in Esquerchin in 1574—and documents relating to the trial of Jean de Saint-Amand in 1567.
