Hello,

I found a picture on the back of a book, but I cannot translate it for myself.
Could someone please help me with translating please?

Thank you and greetings,

[Zusammenfassung]
Zwischen Barblan und dem Dorf Vnà kam es zu einer Diskrepanz nach einem Tausch zwischen ihnen.
Um weitere negative Folgen für Barblan zu verhindern wurde am 4. Januar 1717 ein Vertrag aufgestellt und zwar schriftlich von Festa, Gallet und dem Schreiber von diesem Text. Dieser besagt, dass Barblan keine Schäden, Kosten oder Leiden davontragen soll und dass er seinen Anteil zurückbekommen soll – auch wenn andere Bewohner anderer Meinung sind.

Frau Zini weist darauf hin, dass die Schrift nicht immer einfach zu lesen war und bittet, etwaige orthographische Fehler zu entschuldigen. Hinweise bitte gegebenenfalls an mich (Wolf) per PN (Icon linke Spalte "Kontaktdaten").

Thank you for the message, but is it possible to translate it into english or german?
I don't know what to make of it.

Greetings,

Sandro

Well - the first part is a transkription, i.e. letter-by-letter (apart from some minor reading problems) reproduction of the text.

Then there is a "Zusammenfassung", i.e. a summery in German. Do you need that to be translated into English?

yes please

See above for the document and the transcription with summary in German.

There were some discrepancies of opinion/interpretation after some sort of deal between Florin N. Barblan and the village (or citizens) of Vna.
In order to avoid future negative consequences for Barblan, this contract was set up on 4 Jan 1717 by Matthieu J. Festa, Christophoro Galett, and the undersigned [looks to me that the signature is not on this page]. The contract confirms that Barblan should not have to bear any damage, cost or pain, and that he should get back his part/partition - even if several inhabitants were of a different opinion.

My impression is that some land partitions were swapped between Barblan and the community - for a limited time according to Barblan, with other inhabitants/citizens holding a different opinion.

Thank you very much for helping me with this document.
