Summary:

A collection of notarial documents from the southern edge of the departement of Tarn-et-Garonne, France. The original set all mention Joham de Vernoils (Zacour-Hirsch propose the alternate spelling Jean de Verneuil), and are all written in the same hand with the same notarial signet and date between 1467 and 1472. These were often separated by blank pages into which later documents (through 1567) were copied by other notaries, and these almost all mention the village or family of Pompignan (near the village of Grisolles, also mentioned in the title), which relates them to the original set. A table of names appearing in the documents was added later at the end (f. 91-[92]).
