As indicated by its famous cathedral Chartres was a major city bishopric and pilgrimage site. The first coutume for Chartres was published in 1508 the first Couart edition with Du Moulin's notes in 1630. This is an interesting edition because its contents are cast in the form of a catechism with questions and answers clarifying the text. Also as noted in the title Du Moulin translated all of the content that had appeared in Latin in previous editions and commentaries. Our copy was annotated in mid-eighteenth century. The notes from a pool of sources dating from 1600 to 1749 deal mostly with male and female inheritance and include citations to court decisions new laws court decisions and observations by authorities. He even included cross-references to his notes. The pencil note on the front free endpaper credit the annotations to a tax lawyer and notary from Gallardon named Moussard.
