upennmanuscripts:This gem, LJS 310, is an illustrated map in color on parchment of a district in the southwestern department of Tarn-et-Garonne, between Castelsarrasin, Castelferrus, and the Cistercian monastery of Belleperche. The purpose of its creation was possibly to illustrate water rights between Castelferrus and Castelsarrasin. The Garonne River is depicted with bridges, mill, sandbanks, and ferry points. Buildings are illustrated in some detail and labeled by a contemporary hand.To see the digitized version of LJS 310, visit Openn:http://openn.library.upenn.edu/Data/0001/html/ljs310.html -- source link
