The Placiti Cassinesi are four official juridical documents written between 960 and 963 in southern Italy, regarding disputes on several lands among three Benedictine monasteries and some local landowners. They are considered the first extant documents written in a Romance vernacular of Italy, along with the Veronese Riddle and the Commodilla catacomb inscription.
