In the context of the project of description and first inventory of the parchment collection "Instrumenta Antiqua Fulginii I-II" currently underway in the General Archive, the oldest document in the AGA has been found. It is a contract of sale dated March 1119, through which the family of Bonezo, his wife Tosa and his son Offredone sold a piece of land to Petrus de Fove. According to the geographical area from which the parchment collection originates, the act referred to in the document probably took place in Foligno, a town in the Italian Umbra region.
The document is original, measuring 221 mm high by 124 mm wide and its typeface can be associated with a transitional lowercase.
It is important to note that this collection of parchments, although related to the Augustinian convent of San Nicolò in Foligno, is not a documentation that deals specifically with matters related to the life of the friars in the aforementioned convent, rather, they are closely linked to some Benedictine monasteries in the area and bear witness to matters of a public and notarial nature such as wills, sales and purchases, donations, dowries, etc.
