Which day were they married, 12 Nov or the 20th of Nov?

20th. Look at the top entry where it says 23. The 2 has a preceding tail.

The only reason I thought it might be the 12th is because of the heading saying "Dominica XXII" which is the 12th of Nov. That's been the normal for these records for a date. With that in mind, which date should I use?
Thanks.

I'm seeing two different dates: Dominica XXII [post Trinitatis, since a couple of entries before and after are post Trinitatis], which in 1587 was 12 November, is listed at the beginning of the record,and "Benedixi 20 Novemb." is listed at the end of the record. The first entry on the image has the longer listing of "Huic matrimonio benedixi," meaning "I blessed this marriage"; the date the priest blesses the marriage ought to be the marriage date, but I'm not sure why there's that other date then, unless it's the date of the last proclamation.

I wondered about that. I guess we will go with the proclamation explanation. Thanks.
