Manuscripts – Magnificent notarial deed from the time of the Holy Roman Empire with decorative initials, coat of arms, colored miniature, and numerous handwritten signatures. 4 leaves, 41 lines. German chancery script on parchment. Circa 1765-1790. Folio. Contemporary velvet binding. - Magnificent document from the time of the Holy Roman Empire, in which Max Joseph von Coulon (-1811), notary, district judge, court councilor, and salt warehouse prefect in Landsberg am Lech (cf. ADB), is solemnly appointed and sworn in as imperial notary in the name of Elector Maximilian and Emperor Joseph II. On pages 3, he is appointed as notary with the seal: "Lions on the right side on a green field, together with a black dog standing in front of him, attentive to all his gestures." On pages 4 and 5, the seal is shown in the same way. On page 3, he is assigned a notarial seal depicting "a lion sitting on the right side on a green field, accompanied by a black dog standing attentively before him, with the accompanying motto: semper tuta fidelitas," which programmatically underscores the core message: loyalty and righteous fulfillment of duty under the protection of imperial authority. The dog and lion symbolize loyal service under princely protection, probably in the sense of the notary's service to the emperor. The document first sets out the emperor's majestic title, then the reasons for the appointment, and confers upon him the office of notary with all the rights of an imperial notary. In the main section, his official duties-impartiality, truthfulness, diligence, discretion, compliance with imperial and state laws-are described in detail in several paragraphs and linked to a solemn oath of office taken by the notary. - At the end of the document are the signatures of Joseph Maria von Pekenreith, Joseph Wagenek - ker, Leopold von Leeb, and Marcus von Mayr. - Coulon also wrote several pomological works.
