Terrier of the Town of Karben

Terrier compiled under priest of Klein-Karben, Kloppenheim (Karben), Germany 1483. "This is an excellent example of a “terrier” or land record for the town of Karben, which was an important center near the Rhine in medieval Germany. The important Order of the Teutonic Knights, cited frequently in the manuscript, were based in Kloppenheim (modern-day Karben). In addition to facilitating the study of diplomatics, paleography, and seigniorial administration, the document is rich in local history, full of references to the geography and toponymy of the area and to the citizens living there." -- Description from Les Enluminures website.
