Account
book of Jacques Perrotet,Lacoste on 1678-1688.
Some passages are transcribed, specially those who indicate the prices of the
goods, the cattle, and the other products which Jacques Perrotet used to buy
and sell. There is also an account of the cost of the stay - clandestine stay
- of the minister Étienne Villet from December 1679 to March 1680. He
visited the Protestant communities of the North Luberon, deprived of minister
and churches since the bans and the demolitions of 1663. At the end of the document,
is the copy of a report of burials in Lacoste from 1657 to 1663, under the ministry
of the minister Pierre Chalier which did not just write the burials, but also
indicated - which is extremely rare - the circumstances of the deathes.
