Anmerkungen
The privileges transcribed date from 1322 to "13 September 1657". Albertus Costerus was a mayor of Woerden and served as secretary to the Groot Waterschap van Woerden. Several other more or less similar (dating from the late 18th cent.) copies of this manuscript exist (see also for example the copies kept in the archive of the Regionaal Historisch Centrum Rijnstreek en Lopikerwaard). The text of the transcripts in our copy is followed by an 18th cent. transript of the "Eed van den procureurs postuleerende voor de vierschaar van 't groot Waterschap van Woerden." (6 lvs.).
