land registry

Zemské desky (German: Landtafel; in old Czech, always Desky zemské, literal translation, "Land tables")[1] is old Czech source of law. It is predecessor of land registry for real estates owned under allodial title (hereditary estates). Also resolutions of Diets, rulings of the Land (supreme) Court and other general legal rules were recorded there.

I would also be careful with "land" as a rendering of "Land-"as it probably refers to a geopolitical region... could be "State/Provincial" etc. so let's see what others contribute...

thanks Cillie
neutral Gordon Matthews : Wouldn't "land register" be better? I would understand "land registry" to be the institution where ownership of land is registered/recorded and the land register is kept.
