Spanish term

cabrevación

Spanish to English Social Sciences History analysis of old documents
The entire phrase is: Cabrevación de diversos censos (also Cabreo de diversos censos)

This is a description of an old parchment describing an exchange of property. Under the description of the parties to the exchange and the lands exchange, this phrase appears, somewhat out of context.

I agree with Wendy. The definition I found yesterday for the term in one language (I wish I could remember which one) was definitely 'inventory' and something else, which I now think was 'register'.
Wendy Streitparth May 28, 2016:
@ Mary: agree with "land registry" or register, which was what I meant to add to my reference!
maryblack (asker) May 28, 2016:
Land registry? Muriel, I think "title clearance" sounds a bit too modern for a 10th-century document. I'm thinking "land registry", which seems to fit the bill meaning-wise. Thoughts? And thanks!!
Helena Chavarria May 28, 2016:
I've spent some time trying to find a reasonable translation because I think there has to be one! The word is also used in Italy. Yesterday I saw the term (or a related one) translated as 'inventory' but I can't find the reference today.
Muriel Vasconcellos May 28, 2016:
Title clearance? I read Helena's earlier link and the idea of 'title clearance' came to mind (I wouldn't want to take credit for the translation as I had no idea what the word meant until I saw the explanation).
maryblack (asker) May 27, 2016:
additional info I have seen this word translated as "recognition" or "reconnaissance", but to me these make no sense in this context.

I have to translate the term and I've found this:

Bottom of page 6

The Italian term cabreo (or Spanish cabrero, from the Latin capi brevium) appears to have come into use for the first time in 1597 by the Grand Priory of Pisa, one of the Italian commandaries of the Order of St John. The term was adopted by the Order to denote a collection of records consisting of a written and drawn survey of land and property holdings. The drawn survey often consisted of manuscript maps drawn by periti agrimensori (land surveyors) at scales large enough to allow detailed depiction of the landscape, and bound together in one volume with a long-winded description. Written surveys of estates or holdings, known in English as terriers and in Italian as decimari, preceded the appearance of the graphic form for the estate record. For the Order of St John, however, the term cabreo became a synonym for the written survey even when the latter was still the common form of recording immoveable property in the 17th century. It was in this century, in fact, that the Order felt the pressure to record the extent of its territorial possessions in the Maltese Islands. The need to draw up a cabreo of magistral property is recorded in the minutes of the Council of the Order for 1643. The main requirement was to locate the fiefs which had become the Order's property in 1530 and on which no rent had ever been collected. The completion and description of the cabreo magistrale was announced in 1654.

I'm going to use 'estate records'.

Thank you, Phil. It's a shame the links in the previous question no longer work.
