    CE QUE LA SOURCE DIT que cette personne a subi : le champ de cause de la MENTION porte « peste mortua » (R-EV18 — c'est le seul endroit du modèle où une qualification devient une propriété d'une personne identifiée). La cause est écrite DANS LE CORPS de l'acte, pas en marge ni sur une ligne de séparation : elle ne relève pas du corollaire de rattachement de R-EV18. Présence attestée à Bethléem le 1636-05-27, dans la portée prouvée de l'événement (lieu de régime attestation_propre) et dans sa période attestée. Pièces : acte BSC-DEC-1636-i329-05, film 8189367, image 329, folio 1 ; mention BSC-DEC-1636-i329-05-defunte-1, rôle « defunte ». RÉSERVE DE DATATION DE L'ÉVÉNEMENT, qui ne change pas ce statut : la borne gauche de evt_1636_peste_bethleem reste [HYPOTHÈSE] (un seul témoin de registre, H2 non satisfaite) — signer un lien ne promeut aucune hypothèse de borne (H16).
