Summary

Ledger of debtors and creditors for the estate located in Terranuova Bracciolini, Arezzo, property of Bartolomeo Concini, for the years 1560-1564, kept by the accountant Girolamo di Papino and recorded by Michele Vestri. 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. Among the names that appear are Rocco di Mariano, Giovanni di Finosino, and Batista Bartolini. They are all workers or farmers on the Terranuova estate and they often paid their debts in kind (mostly with animals and produce). The names of Margherita and Lisabetta Concini also appear in the ledger among the debtors, but they settled their debts in cash. In certain cases, debts and credits regard the sale or purchase of textile products, including wool and house linens.
