Les cinq documents témoignent de la nouvelle situation de la France née de la Révolution.

What on earth does “treat of” mean in this sentence. It’s not even English so it’s not possible to translate it into French.

The translation probably comes from a French person, who tried to directly translate “traiter d’un sujet”. There are many similar words between French and English and so we get confused often.
