Abstract: The main objective of this work is to transcribe the documents of the cathedral cabildo of Ourense in the 14th century. Our purpose is not to draw conclusions about the chapter, but to present and make available to researchers sources that allow them to study the chapter and the territory over which it exercised its dominion -among which is the city of Ourense-, while contributing to raise awareness of the enormous documentary heritage contained in the Cathedral Archives of Ourense. Thus, the main core of this research is constituted by the transcription of the documents, which is completed with the elaboration of onomastic and toponymic indexes where the names of people and places mentioned in the documentation are collected, identified and ordered, in order to facilitate the consultation. The edition of the documents is preceded by an introductory study in which different issues related to this documentary collection are addressed. It consists of three chapters: in the first, we place the documents in their historical context and briefly review the history of the institution that generated them; in the second we analyze the cathedral archive, studying everything related to conservation and archival treatment, from the deposits and the systems of installation of the documents to the work carried out by the canons and people who developed the function of archivist in the Church of Auriense, without forgetting the description of the funds and the forms of access and control to them; finally, in the third chapter we expose the types of notaries before whom the documents have been written and their notarial signs are collected.
