The judge, having read the testament, shall deliver the same to the clerk, who shall read it aloud unless the testator has directed therein that one or more clauses remain unpublished, in which case the reading shall be limited to the other clauses. The will having been read, the court shall make an order that it be recorded, with the record of the proceedings for the opening thereof, in the office of the notary who may have authorized its execution, and in default thereof in that of the notary designated by the court.
