Summary

Ledger of debtors and creditors, miscellaneous accounts, and memoranda of Bernardo di Alamanno de' Medici for the years 1456-1457, written in the first person, probably by Bernardo di Alamanno himself. Entries were made in each category of accounts over the course of one year only, leaving mostly blank pages. 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. Counterparts are workers, tenants and employees (e.g. millers and bakers) of Bernardo, or members of the Florentine aristocracy, such as Andrea di Matteo degli Albizzi. Memoranda contain short descriptions of the circumstances that lead to the creation of a debt or credit.
