The first legible entry is notarised by Tobaldo di Paolo: ‘Ego Tobaldus Pauli de Perusio Porte Sancti Petri publicus imperiali ac apostolica auctoritate notarius et iudice ordinarius [...]’ (see R. Abbondanza, ed., Il notariato a Perugia, 1973, esp. p.62).

The register contains notarial acts from the years 1453-1465, chiefly concerning debtors to the Hospital of San Francesco. There are around 20 individual entries, all with notarial signatures or subscriptions, among which four by Tobaldo di Paolo, two by Vincenzo di Paolo, five by Antonio di Giovanni and two by Lodovico di Cristoforo.
