Abstract	This session intends to show that administrative/territorial boundaries do not establish, by themselves, documentary boundaries. On the contrary, the analysis of the formularies of various types of agrarian contracts, made in different regions of the kingdoms of Portugal and Castile, prove that these borders are non-existent and confirm the existence of many similarities between documents produced in the same chronological period. In addition to the presentation of each of their studies, the researchers present at this session intend to establish a comparative dialogue that will greatly benefit the study of the peninsular notary public in the Middle Ages.
