Abstract
The palaeographical and diplomatic features of the documents produced for the archdeacons have received little scholarly attention, a neglect due principally to small number of extant texts. Drawing on a collection of more than fifty documents, we analyse the offices where documents were issued, their staff (archdeacons, officials, and notaries), and their functions as well as how documents were drawn up. We also analyse the types of documents issued in these offices and how these were related to their physical features (the scripts, the writing medium, and the language).
