[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 4350906, member: 56"]I don't think it will be a difficult text for someone fluent in German, but you'll need to show more pages. I think that first page is a list of the titles held by Wilhelm III. The second page might get into the meat. They could be papers of accreditation. The name at the end looks like Otto Albert Friedrich Robert Wenhel (Wenzel?) of Frankfurt on Main. The front page looks engraved. Don't know about the others (and could be wrong about the first). Looks to be vellum. If the coat of arms is hand done, it's terrific. The writing around the coat of arms may be a description of the arms in heraldic terms. It's a beautiful document[/QUOTE]
