Summary

Ledger of debtors and creditors of Francesco di Stefano Risaliti for the years 1550-1560. 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 appear to be with various workers (farmers, carpenters, builders) but transactions with employees who operate in the wool and textile industry (especially dyers and spinners) are not uncommon. Transactions appear to be either payments for professional services or small loans.
