Plural of chartula; multiple small documents, deeds, or little written records.
From chartula + -ae (the Latin feminine plural ending). This maintains the original Latin plural form rather than anglicizing it.
When a word is borrowed from Latin, sometimes scholars keep the Latin plural instead of adding -s—chartulae sounds more academic and precise than 'chartulas'.
