- reading and analysis of a facsimile of a medieval document, which will be asked to perform a brief oral summary, and a diplomatic analysis (general partition, intrinsic characters).

The achievement of an organic vision of the discipline combined with the ability to critically use the notions learned and the expressive and specific language mastery will result in an evaluation ranging from excellent to very good.

The mnemonic knowledge of the contents, combined with good critical skills and a correct but not always appropriate language will lead to discrete evaluations.
