Edition and Translation Rolls A–D
Statement on Transcription and Translation
Because language norms were not yet fixed in thirteenth-century French-language documents, particularly those created in Outremer, we have opted to privilege original orthography and word spacing when possible. Moreover, this is an edition of one manuscript only, that is, a single copy written on five rolls of parchment, not a critical edition of multiple manuscripts. We have therefore adopted the following norms to make the Old French more accessible and to aid in reader comprehension.
For the Old French Transcription
- We have used the following currency symbols: d. (denier), lb or l. (livre/ pound), s. (sous) t. (tournois), b̸ (bezant), and q (quarroble). When these denominations are spelled out or partly spelled out in the document, we have noted this in the transcription and done the same. In the translation we have used the above standard abbreviations for currencies. Marks and sterling are almost never abbreviated.
- We have retained the raised punctus [⋅] as and when it appears throughout the rolls and in the Rutebeuf poems. The punctus serves multiple purposes in the Account-Inventory and in the poems that might be addressed by a range of modern punctuation, including bullet points, commas, semicolons, and other sigla. In this text, the raised punctus is often used to designate and/or separate successive items in a list or grouping, or stanza and clauses in the poetic texts.
- The Account-Inventory contains pilcrows or paragraph markers (F. pied de mouche), which we have indicated with the ¶ symbol throughout.
- We have transcribed all proper names (people and places) as in the document. For all that are known, we have given the standard English version in the translations (for example, Tyre for Sur).
- We have silently expanded all standard abbreviations (e.g., 9 = moins, & = et, 7 = et, ƿ = per).
- Accounting and valuation in Old French was done in Roman numerals and using multiples of Roman numerals. We have transcribed these as they appear throughout the text, putting the multiples in superscript as they are on the parchment page. In every case, it should be noted, the scribes’ math is impeccable. We could find no errors in the accounts.
For the Translation
- We have standardized all proper names, and in the case of those individuals who appear throughout the book, we have given more standard anglicized versions of names (Érard of Vallery rather than Erart de Valeri, and Étienne le Clerc rather than Estiene le clerc). For those individuals who appear only once or very rarely in the Account-Inventory, we have retained the Old French spellings.
- Throughout, we have translated item as “likewise.”
- In some instances, we have chosen to add punctuation in English at the end of object phrases or at the end of logical groupings of object phrases to reflect meaningful line-endings or the flow of a clause. In the rolls the frequent use of punctus marks served to delineate such breaks.
- In the translation we have calculated all Roman numeral groupings and multiples and expressed them in Arabic numerals, as is standard in English (e.g., viixx we translate as 140).
Our goal is to represent the text as clearly as possible and not to impose outdated editorial norms once practiced for print-only versions, conventions that were standard when readers of those hard-copy versions rarely had recourse to document images. Because we now have ready access to the online images, our aim is to facilitate ease of reading for users, understanding that our interpretations can be queried by looking at the high-resolution images placed alongside our transcription online through the link to the DALME database:
https://dalme.org/collections/records/6d042eaa-b4ac-451f-ab70-923c83f1048a/1a
Given the size and quality of the rolls, we would argue that it is possible to reorder them or that they would have been wrapped and therefore carried in a different order from how they were originally edited and numbered in the archival collection. This does not change the meaning or substance of the text, but rather how the rolls relate to each other. We believe they would have been “nested,” that is, rolled one inside the other beginning in the center with the small, delicate and still very clean Roll C; then Roll D—also of a smaller width and cleaner parchment; then Roll B; and finally Roll A (figure 1). Roll A is the largest and presents on the outside—that is, the exposed side or the dorsal of the parchment—two clear cut marks where the ties to close and bind the rolls would have been inserted to secure all the rolls together.

1. The term lais could be rendered many ways, as something spoken or recounted aloud, as a set of bequests or gifts (legs) or arrangements made in favor of specific people or institutions. There is no known surviving testamentary document for Eudes. It is possible then that the term lais here refers to oral instructions he made just before he died. According to the Dictionnaire du Moyen Français (DMF), Lais; laxare; legs: “Fait de céder une chose à titre gratuit par disposition testamentaire, ce qu'on laisse par un acte de dernière volonté à une personne ou à une collectivité autre que l’héritier désigné, legs”: http://www.atilf.fr/dmf/definition/lais. “Lais” is also the term Rutebeuf uses for making one’s will at the time of death. See below, Rutebeuf, “La complainte dou conte Hue de Nevers,” v. 163.
2. Gaucher de Merry (from Merry-sur-Yonne; arr. Avalon; border of Champagne and Burgundy). He or one of his relatives is listed among the “barons and great knight of the king” during the reign of Philip III in 1304. See RHGF, 23:803. Gaucher is grouped with the Champenois knights along with “Le seignor de Vallery.” We thank Xavier Hélary for this insight.
3. For the most part we do not expand abbreviations for currency denominations, but rather render them in italics. In cases when the scribe writes them out in full, we follow the manuscript. We have employed standard abbreviations throughout the English translation.
4. In some cases, as retained in the transcription, the scribes have written the partially abbreviated form, tornois. We use the abbreviation t. in the English translations for consistency.
5. Gui de Chantenai, or Chanteneio, also took part on the crusade of Aragon (1285). See Elisabeth Lalou, ed., Les Comptes sur tablettes de cire de la chambre aux deniers de Philippe III le Hardi et Philippe IV le Bel (1282–1309) (Paris: Boccard, 1994), 60. It may be that Chantenai is Chantenay-Saint-Imbert (Nievre, arr. Nevers).
6. Hugh of Augerant or Angeran, was a knight from Burgundy close to Count Eudes. After Eudes’s death he was given lands at Noain as a gift for service from Robert of Flanders, the second husband of Yolande of Nevers. By 1274, he also held the lordship of Granges (near Magny-Cours) and lands at Chantenay, Livry, and Riousse near Langeron. For the reconstruction of the Angeran lineage from extant sources, see “Maison d’Angerant,” Terres et Seigneurs en Donziais, July 4, 2021, http://www.terres-et-seigneurs-en-donziais.fr/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/dAngerant.pdf.
7. This phrase was added in a slightly different ink and hand.
8. Boen home and several of the names that follow in this section are unusual. It is possible here that Bonhomme refers to his status as a reformed heretic, a bonhomme of Languedoc. We thank the first reader of the text for this suggestion. We thank Mark Pegg for his expertise and advice about this possibility.
9. We take this to be younger or lesser boys, boys of lesser status, who most likely served as pages in Eudes’s household and may have been called upon to run errands and charged with similar household duties.
10. The Viscountess of Limoges was Eudes’s sister.
11. Again, an unusual name. This could be translated to “the hunchback man” as a nickname or colloquial name.
12. This is probably the city of Beaune, in Burgundy.
13. The archbishop of Tyre until April 1266 was Gilles de Saumur, who had been a close confidant of Louis IX and who was in the West serving as a papal legate until his death, only four months before Eudes. See Pierre-Vincent Claverie, “De l’entourage royal à l’entourage pontifical: L’éxample méconnu de l’archevêque Gilles de Tyr (d. 1266),” in À l’ombre du pouvoir: Les entourages princiers au moyen âge, ed. Alain Marchandisse and Jean-Louis Kupper (Geneva: Droz, 2003), 57–76. Whether this is a payment to Gilles de Samur’s valet or to that of his successor, John of Saint-Maxentius (1266–72), is not clear.
14. This phrase was added in a slightly different ink and hand.
15. Quarrobles is a term that is typically partially abbreviated to qrrobl. For clarity, we have chosen to expand it in the French and use the abbreviation q in English.
16. This was most likely a money changer, someone paid for changing currencies at a specific rate of exchange. Here the payments are made in bezants, but could have come from monies in tournois. If it is a changer it is possible that the salaries were paid in bezants from the 500 marks silver that Hugh, duke of Burgundy, sent to Eudes that would need to be changed into local currency.
17. Verz is a very difficult term. It could mean here either green cloth or vair, that is, fur used for trimming garments. Both green cloth and vair were given (or here sold) to retainers within households like Eudes’s. It is possible that Eudes had on hand both vair and green cloth for precisely this purpose. We have rendered verz here as “green [cloth]” as it is listed with another cloth type, that is, striped cloth, and it makes most sense in this context as part of an object phrase or grouping.
18. These seem to be extraordinary payments and included the costs for the count’s tomb as well as the large sums paid to Brother Étienne and to Bossu, each over one thousand bezants. It may be that these payments included outstanding debts that the count owed Étienne and Bossu, similar to the outstanding pay that Eudes owned Érard of Vallery mentioned below.
19. This second roll is stitched to the first roll. Here, however, the ink and hand shift slightly. It is possible we have a different scribe or that the quill was different. It appears that this is also the dorsal (hair) side of the second parchment roll that forms Roll A, and thus the writing surface is slightly different. The rolls are stitched together with green silk thread, and the stitched area has covered the final four lines of the outer or first roll.
20. This repetition and expansion of the information about the two cloths helps to clarify the confusion of meaning in the first instance. Here, we interpret this to mean that the cloth was ordered (mendement) and sold “by” (vendu a) merchants. We consider that the tomb and cloths were to be used together.
21. Étienne de Sissy, Cissey, or Sissey was from Burgundy, or possibly from Sissy in the department of Aisne. He was marshal of the Temple from 1261 to 1262 and then took charge of the Templar province of Sicily-Apulia from 1270 until his death in 1272/73. See Jochen Burgtorf, The Central Convent of Hospitallers and Templars: History, Organization, and Personnel (1099/1230–1310) (Leiden: Brill, 2008), 659.
22. This refers to monies coming in, literally “having been received,” that is, paying into the estate, as opposed to expenses, monies going out.
23. See below, Roll D, for the “other part.”
24. The grand master of the Temple at this time was Thomas Béraud (master from 1256 to 1273); the Templar treasurer is more challenging to identify. This may have been one Bienvenu who was active with Thomas Béraud in 1262; see Burgtorf, The Central Convent, 500. The companions, we presume, are other Templar brothers in attendance.
25. See Roll D for the 742 bezants worth of goods purchased by the Temple and applied toward the count’s debt.
26. This term covers several individuals, both the broker of the loan between the count and the Hospitallers and the merchants or traders who sold the count’s cloth and silver.
27. That is, the Hospitallers, although it was the Hospital as an institution that lent the sum to the count.
28. We understand these to be agents who liquidated the assets that appear in Roll C. In other words, Hugh and Érard were not selling off the count’s materials assets themselves but paid local middlemen to do so.
29. See Roll D for the sale of one silver pot for 16 bezants.
30. On the rolls, the sign used here looks like a “9” and means “moins” in Old French, translated as “less” in English. We have silently expanded this in the Old French edition, but note it here for clarity.
31. This is a fee or charge for changing money. The loans were negotiated in several currencies, and this 100 s. t. was the fee for converting them.
32. We read this marking as a “d” and as a scribal error with no clear meaning.
33. Chazaud reads this as “[e]mgueliet,” but the manuscript is unclear here and may read “oigneliet,” from “oignement,” or “unguelie[n]t” meaning “onction” or “onguent,” that is, perfume or ointment, or to cover with spiced grease, ongient, and balsam, as per the DMF, http://www.atilf.fr/dmf/definition/oignement; see “unguere.” With thanks to Stephanie J. Lahey (@SJLahey) for her reading: “? or maybe unguelie(n)t (= perfume, ointment), if the long, thin tittle from the /i/ is actually a suspension mark. ,” Twitter, October 28, 2021, 10:50 a.m., https://twitter.com/SJLahey/status/1453735981224366080.
34. The orthography here is difficult. This could be Robert de Juigentes. Riley-Smith reads this as “Juennesses.” We have reproduced what we believe is on the parchment role.
35. We take “de reaus” here to mean “the money of the king, or the realm,” therefore referring to the currencies minted by a succession of western rulers in Outremer throughout the thirteenth century. In 1266, this could be the king of France or the Latin king of Jerusalem. Here the idea is French or Latin “money of the realm,” distinct from bezants and from currency tournois. A similar term, réaux (from the Latin regales), was used in fourteenth-century southern France; see Kathryn L. Reyerson and Debra A. Salata, eds, Medieval Notaries and Their Acts: The 1327–1328 Register of Jean Holanie (Kalamazoo: Medieval Institute Publications, 2004), 104. For more information on Outremer coinage, see Alan M. Stahl, “The Denier Outremer,” in The French of Outremer: Communities and Communications in the Crusading Mediterranean, ed. Laura K. Morreale and Nicholas L. Paul (New York: Fordham University Press, 2018), 30–43.
36. The knights were paid for each quarter of the year. Thus, here Érard is paid for the first three quarters of 1266, January through the end of August.
37. The precise meaning of the phrase “drap qui i estoit dor en fu percez sor le cuer le conte” is not clear. Because the nominal construction “drap. . dor” or cloth of gold is used, we take this to be a piece of gold cloth, perhaps one of the nine pieces of Tartar cloth (dras de tartais), which was often woven with gold thread (see the short essay by Sharon Farmer, below). This may refer to a piece of cloth that was either pierced or threaded through the count’s heart or wrapped or threaded around (sor) his heart. For a similar reference, see Marie de France’s lai Laustic, which ends with the rossignol, that is, the dead nightingale, wrapped in gold-embroidered cloth and placed in a coffret, much as Eudes’s heart was wrapped in cloth, placed into a box or escrin (a term also used to describe a box or container for relics), and sent to the Cistercian abbey of Cîteaux in Burgundy. For an English translation of Laustic, see Judy Shoaf’s, available from her University of Florida web site, https://people.clas.ufl.edu/jshoaf/files/laustic.pdf. We thank Anne Latowsky for this reference and for consulting on the translation and interpretation of this phrase.
38. This was a cycle of chansons de geste that included Hervis de Metz, Garin le Loherain, Gerbert de Metz, Anseïs de Gascogne (Anseïs de Metz), Yon ou la Vengeance Fromondin, and Yonnet de Metz. See Laurent Brun, “Le cycle des Lorrains,” ARLIMA: Archives de littérature du moyen âge, December 12, 2023, https://www.arlima.net/ad/cycle_des_lorrains.html. Several of these chansons were copied into Paris, BnF, MS fr. 1622.
39. It is also clear that this is the outer, dorsal, or hair-side of the parchment. This piece by far is the coarsest and thickest. In contrast Rolls B and C seem to be made of finer vellum.
40. It is this line or phrase that would have appeared on the outer side of the roll when tightly rolled together. This is where the two cut or slash marks appear where the roll would have been tied.
41. Refers to the wages the count paid his knights and servants.
42. Chazaud has “Renauz a receu lxii xxx besants.”
43. The entries here include both cancelled debts that appear in overstrike and deleted amounts that are also struck through. The parchment also bears signs of being rubbed out, or erased, in some places and overwritten.
44. We believe these two names to be toponyms from local towns or regions in Syria. See the essay below by Jonathan Rubin.
45. It appears that an inventory was begun on the back of Roll A toward the bottom of the parchment, but then broken off mid word, seemingly in favor of beginning on a new sheet of parchment.
46. In the rolls the phase a mort is often contracted as amort. This echoes Rutebeuf’s use of the term L’amors, or amors, which is the word that begins his “Complainte” for Eudes.
47. We note the spelling changes in this section between “pelles” and “perles.” We follow the DMF, which corrects “pelles” to “perles,” with multiple attestations.
48. Given the context, this could be a silver gilded box. The term texu is a bit unusual, but was not uncommon as a way of referring to boxes used to carry or store relics and other precious objects. The phrase “en larmeure” is a bit unclear. This could refer to the box coming from the armory or could characterize armorials or heraldic sigils depicted or adhered to the box, as was the case for example, with the coffret of John of Montmirail (fig. 26).
49. Toile is specifically linen cloth often made in Troyes. See the essay by Sharon Farmer.
50. In the cases of orthographic ambivalence between u and v we have employed the modern version with the v for clarity.
51. This is an abbreviation for the word douzaine, which translates into English as a dozen.
52. “Camelin tiretaine” is a very specific weave of cloth using a linen-wool blend. We believe in this case that “camelin” references the type of wool used. On both camelin and tiretaine cloth, see the essay below by Sharon Farmer.
53. We thank Barbara Boehm and Élisabeth Delahaye for their consultation and advice about this term. Here we take panne to mean either “textiles” or pieces of “fur.” Probably these were pieces of grosvair, that is grey vair or fur (made from untrimmed squirrel) and menuvair, or miniver, that is, white fur (made from trimmed squirrel), which were often given as gifts of livery or used to embellish clothing. See also Malcolm Vale, The Princely Court: Medieval Courts and Culture in North-West Europe (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2001), 93–135, esp. 118–19.
54. The three types of cloth or fabric listed here, dras de tartais, chameloz, and boqueranz, are most likely all expensive, luxury, cloth produced in the East and in Central Asia. On these three, see the essay below by Sharon Farmer.
55. This phrase is complicated. Typically, it is used to describe jewels or precious stones that were worked or encased in a frame, or mounted. Worked, orfevres, here as in what will become gold works, orfavrerie. We thank the reader for the press for this insight.
56. Cendal is a form of taffeta, but we are retaining the original French term because of differences in fabrication. See Sharon Farmer.
57. Chazaud suggests this term comes from frangere, that is, to break up or break into pieces. We take it to be an ax, from the L. francisca. See Kelly DeVries, Medieval Military Technology, 2nd ed. (Toronto: University of Toronto Press), 15.
58. Here begins a more formal list of objects in each room or area of Eudes’s lodgings. The verbal and graphic organization of the inventory page also changes slightly in that each section leaves ample space between rooms to add—if necessary—additional objects and amounts.
59. The text has this as an i not an e. The word is marechaucie, for marechaussee.
60. A “granz chevax” was a particular type of horse known as a “great horse,” that is, the kind one would ride into battle. See R. H. C. Davis, The Medieval Warhorse: Origin, Development and Redevelopment (London: Thames & Hudson, 1989), 69 and 88. We thank Sharon Farmer for this reference.
61. The reference most likely refers to William II of Agen (Guillaume d’Agen), patriarch of Jerusalem, then resident in Acre. Another possibility is whomever was vicar for Opizzo Fieschi, the Latin Maronite patriarch of Antioch, who held his see in October 1254 but then was constrained to leave Antioch for Acre. He was back in Italy by August 5, 1265 (with Charles of Anjou): Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani, vol. 47 (1997), entry by Giovanni Nuti. We thank Maureen Miller for these details.
62. This material is listed above the first line of the paragraph, but because of its placement and meaning, we have listed it afterward.
63. We take this to be serge or a type of wool blended with beaver fur, in this case black beaver, and in a following example, red beaver. We thank Sharon Farmer for this interpretation.
64. A garnaiche was similar to a houppelande, ganache, or garde-corps, that is, a large cape that covered the body.
65. Camelot, or camlet in English, is distinct from camelin (a wool fabric made in the West). Camlet was made typically from camel fur, often from Central Asia. See the discussion by Sharon Farmer below. See also David Jacoby, “Camlet Manufacture, Trade in Cyprus and the Economy of Famagusta from the Thirteenth to the Late Fifteenth Century,” in Medieval and Renaissance Famagusta: Studies in Architecture, Art and History, ed. Michael J. K. Walsh, Peter W. Edbury, and Nicholas S. H. Coureas (Farnham: Ashgate, 2012), 45–72.
66. Here the word for vert is abbreviated using a form of vt with a sweeping macron above. This is very different from the word verz used elsewhere in the text. This is clearly “green” rather than “vair.”
67. The scribe uses the word forre here, which we have taken to mean trimmed when mentioned above with fur (either grosvair or menuvair). Here when used with cendal, which was a light silk-weave fabric, we take it to mean lined. It is possible that these garments were only trimmed with cendal.
68. We believe this line to be a later addition than the paragraph above because the ink and hand are slightly different.
69. It is Hugh who was the one carrying the rings back to the West and to the heirs of the count of Nevers. See the discussion in the essay by Richard Leson below.
70. The Order of Saint Lazarus of Jerusalem, or the Leper Brothers of Jerusalem, was a charitable military order founded ca. 1119 at the same time as the Hospitaller Order.
71. The phrase “forre de cendel vert” was added in a lighter ink, perhaps after the main text.
72. The Carmelite brothers, or the friars-hermits of the Blessed Virgin of Mount Carmel, was an order that came to follow the customs of the Dominicans but was dispersed from the mount following the campaigns of Baybars, though the house persisted inside Acre. See the essay here by Andrew Jotischky.
73. The phrase “forre de cendel vermoil” was added in a different ink, perhaps after the main text was written, to distinguish among objects.
74. That is, to the hospital of the Teutonic order.
75. This line appears to be written in a different hand with possibly different ink.
76. Given the value listed here, we assume this would be measures of cloth, although no unit or measurement is given. If this is cloth from Provins, as the striped cloth listed in Roll A notes, it may have had a higher value in Acre.
77. Context suggests this may be a variant spelling of “coffres.”
78. We chose the third person plural imperfect, but variant expansions might include pesoient or pesevent.
79. This line was added in a lighter ink, slightly different script, possibly as an addition made at the same time as the totals on the other end of the parchment (inverted and in lighter ink). We believe that this represents an additional accounting and summarizing as the sale of all items was completed.
