Last will and testament of Finas de Sancto Cirico, daughter of Guillelmus de Sancto Cirico. Gothic bastard hand. Brown ink. Written by a clerk of the diocese of Cahors/Caturcens, one Guillaume d'Aurillac of Figeac. The entire will is contained on the recto. A fine, 10-line initial "I" begins the text. The two bottom lines, which contain the affirmation of the will by the clerk Guillaume d'Aurillac, are separated from the main body of the will by a 1-line space. A penwork notarial seal lies within the final two lines. It is a 5 petal flower contained within a square that is formed by the intersections of two vertical and two stretched horizontal ovals. Centered between the space of the vertical ovals is a stem that comes to a bulbous end. The verso is blank save one element of writing at the top, one element of writing at the bottom, and one element written sideways on the left side.
