| Abstract | ||||
| This study dealt with the publishing and editing of two documents transferring agricultural land plots in the nineteenth century. It's a rare document embodying a period of confusion in the transformation of agricultural property from ownership by usufruct of tax land to the absolute possession. The documentary historical analytical approach, both the synthetic and analytic, is used to analyze content of the documents, and then set up a historic construct to extract information from these documents and link them to other historical facts written down in the different sources. This study concluded that many laws and regulations were passed for agricultural tax-land to be for the peasants. However, they did not benefit from this, only large landowners benefited. The study also drew an accurate picture of how to document legal transfer of farmland at the end of the nineteenth century, and revealed an increase in the proportion of litigation fees at the end of the nineteenth century which amounted to 5% of the legal action. | ||||
