Partial or complete transcription / Summary

The post-mortem inventory of the possessions of the venerable Marc Biscarro, beneficed priest in Santa Maria del Pi, in his house on 'lo carrer vulgarment dit de Hierusalem'. [Document in poor condition because of oxidisation.] On Thursday 28 August 1608 in the room overlooking the patio, he kept a collection of devotional  books and sermons, including  'vn breuiari dolent de Barcelona', as well as 'vn libre de Joan Timoneda, and Cicero's Retorica.   In the chapel of Nuestra Señora de la Esperança in Santa Mari del Pi he had 'vn missal roma bo'. He seems to have some property and land, though this is mostly illegible. The auction was begun on 5 September 1608, held in the cemetery of Santa Maria del Pi; his books were sold on 16 September 1608, but it was not until August 1609 that his missal was sold for 1ll 4s 'a la comunitat del pi'..
