Summary
Ledger of accounts of Fabrizio de' Medici for the years 1559-1579. Often includes the nature of a given credit or debt and its amount, as well as listing the names of the individuals that hold the debt or credit, and the date on which payments are due. Transactions are sometimes related to payments for produce or rent, as well as small debts and credits between Fabrizio de' Medici and his employees. Transactions regarding farm or household management are very common and appear throughout the ledger: for these transactions detailed information is often given, as well as the prices of the products and the reason for the purchase. Sometimes the name of the counterpart is also recorded. The memoranda contain more information regarding individual debts and credits, such as the circumstances that lead to the debt or credit, as well a more detailed list of farm or household management product purchases. Flyleaves (formerly the cover) are vellum, from a 14th-century manuscript of the Corpus juris civilis, written in two columns, in a Gothic script with red and blue initials, with surrounding commentary text. Parts of the texts are missing.
