Summary
This memorandum book of a Florentine grain dealer contains entries made in a variety of hands, possibly those of the buyers, with entries for payment for grain, rent, taxes, alms, and other income. The number of entries for each year is small. This account book is characteristic of the type used when Palioli created his treatise on double entry bookkeeping. The book designates Biagio Dicino dalle Vanna as the official recorder of transactions and also mentions other members of his family. The entries are dated from 1466-1524, but leaves with entries for 1473-1475, 1495, and 1501-1503 are missing.
