The document itself

 Written in old French so not easy to read.
Somewhere it is mentioned something ending in Paris with what would be spelling mistakes today "est finiffant a Paris. The letter "s" in old French manuscript is looking like a "f" So "paroisse -church- becomes "paroiffe"

A really interesting document for historians or collectors who want a piece of history written hundreds of years ago.
