Regestrum Varadinense

Regestrum Varadinense (Hungarian: Váradi Regestrum), or Oradea Register, is a document which preserved the minutes of hundreds of trials by ordeal.[1][2] The ordeals were held under the auspices of the canons of the cathedral chapter of Várad (now Oradea in Romania) in the first decades of the 12th century.[3] It is "one of the most remarkable documents of social history in medieval Transylvania", according to historian Florin Curta.[2]
