Summary

Ledger of debtors and creditors of Carlo de' Medici for the years 1530-1535. 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. Most transactions concern the payment of debts and credits between Carlo de' Medici and his servants or employees and sometimes payments are in kind (oil, wine, wheat, produce). Some transactions are payments to small shops or businesses (shoemaker, miller) from Carlo de' Medici and they are settled in cash. The name of Bivigliano d'Alamanno de' Medici appears throughout the ledger as a creditor of Carlo de' Medici.
