Miscellaneous Villafiorita documents, 1340-1869.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/693870575

Documents, primarily legal, notarial, and financial, pertaining to various Sicilian aristocratic families (including the Alliata, the Burgio, the Balsamo, the Branciforte, the Ventimiglia, the Platamone, the Naselli, the Valguarnera, and others) and territories (such as Racalmuto, Agrigento, and Comiso). Most of the notarial documents are either grants and privileges (Folders 460-461) conferred over the centuries by the Spanish crown to Sicilian noblemen and passed along from one generation to the next (arranged in chronological order and covering the years 1340-1734), or wills (Folders 462-491, with, in frequent cases, multiple copies of the same will) of individuals who were members of or related to the aforementioned families (also arranged chronologically, and dated 1498-1639). The legal documents (Folders 492-510) are prevalently 19th-century trial proceedings and expert witness reports (containing tables and maps) concerning the improper use of the sulfur mines in the Racalmuto area. The remaining items (Folders 511-524) consist of documents pertaining to the Guardia Nazionale of Palermo (including numerous printed booklets issued during the Revolution of 1848); a guide to the rules of whist, a card game; and miscellaneous accounts and credit records. Various stamps, perhaps indicating the payment of the customary governmental stamp tax to issue official documents, appear on numerous items; they are the same as or similar to stamps on other documents in the Villafiorita Ducal Records. A document ratifying the ordination of a clergyman in Comiso, as well as more printed papers concerning the Guardia Nazionale are housed in the Oversize series.
