Beinecke MS 383               Bohemia, 1398 [?]
Charter of Wenzel, Emperor of Germany (in Ger. and Lat.)

Charter of Wenzel (1361-1419) confirming the rights and privileges granted by
his predecessors to the towns of Ober- and Nieder-Ingelheim, Wynterheim and
Wachenheim, granted 1398 [?].  On the verso, in the same hand:  "R. Petrus de
Wischow [Vyskov]."  In a contemporary hand, 2 lines on the fold of the leaf
below the main text, partially cut off at right:  "Per d. W. Patriarcham Auth.
Cancel***// Wlathinco de Weytem**le//".

Written in Bohemia, apparently in 1398.  Filing notes on dorse in German
(s. xvii-xviii).  Much of text lost at folds, especially at the one running
horizontally across the center of the leaf; more loss in the same area due to
water and grease stains, and holes in parchment.  Square has been cut out of
lower right corner of parchment; loss of a few letters of charter and part of
the note on the fold (see above).  Purchased from S. Harrison Thomson in 1967,
with the Edwin J. and Frederick W. Beinecke Fund.
