Abstract:

Ledger of receipts, perhaps of Alamanno de' Medici, for the years 1537-1556. The transactions whose receipts are recorded in the ledger usually concern harvests or revenues derived from the sale of harvests. For most occurrences, the amount of the transaction (either the value of the harvest or the revenue from the sale of a harvest or percentages of it) is recorded. In certain cases, the name of the harvester is also present.
