Reading notes

Page 1 is an inventory card. The date and place are read from the dateline on p. 2 (“w Brodach d. 26 April 1723”); the inventory card was not used as date evidence. The signature is tentatively read as Hammershausen.

Scope of the edition: Working partial transcription and translation; the surname in the signature is uncertain and the remaining text is partly illegible.
