Summary

Ledger of debtors and creditors and accounts related to the estate attached to the Priory of San Jacopo, located in Pian di Radice, Terranuova Bracciolini, property of Arrigo Concini, for the years 1631-1635. Arrigo Concini died in 1631, leaving to his heirs (his daughters Camilla Concini Medici, Leonora Concini Ricasoli, Ginevra Concini Orlandini, Maria Concini Giraldi and Ippolita Concini Capponi) a number of outstanding debts and credits related to San Jacopo. The ledger contains only the debts, credits and accounts related to the San Jacopo estate, which was managed by the farmer Vergilio Casini after the death of Arrigo. In case of a debt or credit, the ledger often includes its nature and amount, as well as listing the names of the individuals that hold the debt or credit. Transactions are mostly related to small sales or purchases of produce and animals, or to the expenses necessary for farm management. There is also a small number of debts and credits with farm workers, which were often paid in kind. An alphabetical index, with 17 lettered tabs, containing names of individuals that appear in the ledger, is laid inside the upper cover of the manuscript.
