[Ledger of Medici accounts].

Abstract:

Ledger of accounts of Niccolo de' Medici for the years 1567-1572 written by Fabrizio de Medici. Includes the nature of a given revenue or expense as well as the name of the individual who acted as counterpart in the transaction. Transactions are mostly related to farm and household management, such as barrel hoops and wood purchases; expenses for milling wheat and olives; sales of cereal and feed. Two named farms belonging to Niccolo de' Medici that appear in the ledger are the podere di Castagnuolo and the podere di Montegiovi, both located outside Florence. Small debts and credits, unrelated to farm management, with employees and business counterparts are also present. In a few cases there are mentions of transactions related to textile products. One of the notes laid in the manuscript is a letter written by Fabrizio de' Medici concerning the sale of a tree to a counterpart.
