maria joão oliveira e silva The analysis of this data has led to several conclusions. First, we realized that the formularies of donations andpostmortemdonations are very similar, specifically in their use of the secondary formulas chosen for analysis. Secondly, this formulary, specifically the one we find in the documents from the first half of the 13th century, includes the presence of all or practically all the selected secondary formulas. There are a few exceptions: for example, one donation (from 1225) has no invocation, onepostmortemdonation (from 1212) has no corroboration, and two donations (from 1216 and 1234) have no notification.15 On the other hand, sanction and dating are always present. This situation contrasts with the reality found in the testaments, whose formulary is much simpler: corroboration is entirely absent; the use of invocation is more scarce (only 5 of the 25 documents have it), and practically the same can be said of the sanction (present in 8 of the 25); notification only gains strength in the second half of the 13thcentury; and dating, although used quite systematically, was dispensed with on five occasions. It should also be noted that dating was placed at the beginning of the protocol of seven testaments, a situation that was never registered in the donations (see the respective column in Table 2). And, in an exceptional case, the date (of the will) appears in two different places, i.e., the indication of the year appears right at the opening of the protocol, while the reference to the month and day is found in the eschatocol.16 The forms of validation also allow us to distinguish wills from the two types of donations. More than the presence of witnesses or the list of three or four testes, the difference between the documents under analysis lies in the identification of the material author, as can be seen intable3: 267 15 Respectively ANTT, S.
