Subject: Re: Help with signatures From: WDKing Date: May 29, 1999 Steve-- Locus sigilli means place of the seals. Place of the seal is locus sigillium. There is no doubt whatsoever as to the meaning of "L.S." at the foot of legal documents -- it always means, literally, place of the seal; was often written or printed to indicate that the document was in fact sealed; and early on came to be treated as the equivalent of a seal (legally, not necessarily aesthetically). "L.S." to indicate the place for or to constitute a seal continues in use today, and is found printed on many pre-printed legal documents. ----- Original Message ----- From: Steven J.
