Cadastro Onciario Preliminary Acts
Details of property and debt
In the preliminary acts, information about property and debts
was provided by each owner. This could be fairly detailed,
giving bounding properties and charges on land or houses.
Some of this detail was omitted from the final register.
Because this document represents the notes from which the
cadaster was compiled, there is no taxation detail.
