Did old Provence or Aragon papers use 'emptio' for rent sales, not loans?

Research question: Do Templar-era notarial or chancery records from Provence or the Crown of Aragon use terms such as 'emptio' or 'vendicio' for purchases of revenue or rent rights, and do those terms show a property sale rather than a loan?

The verified facts do not establish that Templar-era notarial or chancery records from Provence or the Crown of Aragon use 'emptio' or 'vendicio' for purchases of revenue or rent rights ²³. The 1245 Palau Reial Menor record mentions neither term and describes the Templar commander Pere Gil buying houses and gardens, which is a property purchase rather than evidence about revenue or rent rights ². A c. 1254 Templar arrangement of seven emphyteutic leases is a rent-type grant rather than a sale, and its text also omits both terms ³. The only fact about sale of income rights, the censal, dates to the late Middle Ages in the Crown of Aragon, not the Templar era, and does not mention either term ¹. The newest dated fact is c. 1254, roughly 770 years before October 2026 ³.
