Handwritten documents belonging to Joseph Donath, including his baptismal certificate (in Latin, issued in 1770, regarding baptism in Feb. 1751); 3 items related to his course of studies at the Charles University of Prague (all in Latin, signed and sealed, dated ca. 1774-1775); and a signed statement by Joh. Wenzel Helzel (dated 1796), in which Helzel affirms that he is holding in safekeeping a marriage agreement (Heyraths contract) between Donath and Rosalia Jankin. The latter document is dated from Hayda, presumably Haida, in northern Bohemia (today: Nový Bor, Czech Republic). The baptismal certificate has a seal and is signed by Gottfried (Godefridus) Lissner, the pastor of the Church of the Holy Trinity (Trinitatis) in St. Georgenthal. The 6th item (undated and unsigned) is a proposed accounting scheme drafted on behalf of a woman identified only as the mother (die Mutter), at her request, evidently by one of her sons, for the purpose of making future provision for 2 minors (Unmündige), while shedding passive debts (passive Schulden); four individuals are identified by first name only: Anton, Joseph, Jacob, and Franz. Making reference to a law regulating care of minors (Vormundschafts Ordnung) that calls for a yearly accounting (jährliche Pupillartabelle), the document proposes a distribution of various parcels of land (Äcker), with the income (Raitung) from certain ones used to provide for the minors. On verso, an itemization of debts and assets is given in florin or gulden (symbol: f.), including a sum to be advanced (vorgestreckt) to Joseph.
