Wow! I am impressed! Are you selling it? Just think, someone wrote something 600 years ago and … well, here it is! Corey, you amaze me! I wish I had your energy.

Amazing!
-
The writing is beautiful. I assume that once you found it, you negotiated a good price for it?
-
You might want to hang on to this find!

What does it say?
-
now that is interesting…..maybe directions to a hidden treasure chest, ha ha ha XO

Many générations from now, in the year 2503, a chineur finds a document… imagine!
-
Unbelieveable! Can you or FH read it? Or, is it written in an old dialect? Please tell. Thanks, love this stuff. Did the dealer say where it came from? This reminds me of when I was at St. Ouen last year – a dealer was selling large, long banquet table out of a castle. It was amazing. History before my eyes. I loved it.

Hi Ed
If I could understand old French and script I would have. Let’s just say it says “Rules to the brocante: Corey Rules!” lol. -
Maybe, maybe not, maybe, maybe not…

Hi Jend’isere
The document will probably be a fast food wrapper, since most mail is by the internet! -
Absent provenance, how does one authenticate the age of such a document? Presumably you don’t have a DIY home Carbon-14 dating kit ;-)))

or instruction diagrams to assemble IKEA furniture, ending with a smiling man drawing!man

How beautiful!!! I love old script. It was there just waiting for you to find it. 🙂 Is it written on linen paper?
-
beautiful!
-
That is not handwriting from that era.
-
I’m curious to what this says and the authenticity…is there a professional who can read it? I mean, 1523?! That belongs in a museum if real.

These rival the Morgan Library in NYC.
