Another German record(maybe in Latin)!

[I4Favre]

Here is what I believe to be the marriage or engagement of Hermann Belke and Clara Valenthorne in 1694. The record is  in 2 parts.  Any help in translating this would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Yes, Latin it is, from the odd recognisable word - sorry I can't offer more, the writing is way beyond me.
                     Best of luck,

thanks, Pinot! Hope someone can get a few facts from it!

I would say marriage - "matrimonium"

Oh! How I wish these were type written!

Thanks! Darlene

Hi,
Newbie here but I believe the word Brautigam means bridegroom in german but is also a surname.

Jim Brautigam
