Is this document written in Ladino, Old Occitan or other?

Post by Pigman »

The following document is in the old records of St. Martial de Gimel in France but I cannot get a very good translation from Google translate. I have tried translating from Latin, Italian and French but some words don't seem to work from anything. Can someone help with this? I am trying to find out if Lomicello was the ancestral home of the Pigmon family.

I found this on p. 274 of "Bulletin de la Société scientifique, historique et archéologique de la Corrèze"

Here is the link:
archive.org/stream/bulletindelasoc97unkngoog/bulletindelasoc97unkngoog_djvu.txt

It occured to me that it may be written in Piedmontese. It will translate somewhat using Google translate into English from Latin and from Italian but not very well at all from French.

The "text" version of books posted to that site are nearly always severely corrupted, especially if the original language was not English.

You might have better luck if you try the "See Other Formats" button on the left side of the window and then click "Read Online".

Looks like French to me. :)

This link will take you to the book where it is photocopied.
The references to Lomicello are on P.274 of the book

It seems to be half Latin and half some French/piedmontese dialect.
If you go back to page 261, a note states "ce patois limousin, mélé de Latin, doit remonter vers 1300". Now, I don't speak French, but in some northern areas of Italy, near to France, "patois" is a dialect. So this should be a transcription of XIV century document.
Anyway, I read "domicello" (not "lomicello"), that was a noblety title, as you can find by Google.

Thanks Pippo M,

I see what you mean. It is Domicello but referring to a Peter Durandij who I think is purchasing the property. I am most interested in the last sentence where it refers to Lo Vignal de Pigmon. I looked up Vignal and in old French it seems to mean vinyard if I am right??

Additionally I have found reference to Pymon as being the Prince of Piedmont. It seems the "g" is often dropped especially before an "n" and I thing before the "m" also is various languages as it is either silent or pronounced as a "j".

I agree with you that is seems to be mixed with old Latin and Old French and possibly some other dialect. Any corrections are greatly welcomed! Here is the best translation I could come up with:


From: Latin
To: English

He goes to St. Martial diocese of the Holy

From the D'maleyra d'or from the Marsalis, they should be the sixth 4. Silius. to the even. the sixth and 4. Ave. to the even. Also in the sixth tenth of the Holy Martial 3. Silius. to the even. MORE Ebolus of whom he answers, a soldier, in his own house which it has in the said place of St. Martial.

It. Such commitment to resolving the terms of Tours 50 shillings; to wit, the sun in the month of August 15.

Manlius was acquired this with all its appurtenances, and with that land which is said to commonly called Pigmon Vignal and with the entire dominion and jurisdictions.

Sequitur Parrochia Sancti Martialis

D'a maleyra d'a sen marsal, debent 4 sext. sili. ad par. et 4 sext. ave. ad par. Item in decima Sancti Martialis 3 sext. sili. ad par. quos solvit Ebolus de plas, miles, in domo sua quam habet apud dictum locum S. Martialis.

It. Mansus de Tozat aux Pradeux (en margin : alias de Pradeux) in Parrochia S. Martialis, fuit acquisitus a Petro Durandi, de Gimello, domicello. in quo manso dictus eleemos. Tutel, percipit 2 modia sili. et 6 sext. silig. totum ad mensuram de Gimello.
