1 Roy, 1920, 85, and n. 2 (1929, 150, and n. 3), transcribed; here slightly corrected.  Roy gives the date as: Lunae, 20 Decem., and p. 189, but also the archival reference: LL 290, fol. 223ro.  Grodecki, 1975, 110, V, I, 13, transcribed.  There would seem to be two copies of this record, the second one with Rosso’s name as “domini Johannis baptiste de Rossis” and with the sums in Roman numerals (“III C” and “VIxx”), and in the margin: “De Rossis pro legato ecclesie.”
