  • "Ledger of debtors, creditors, and accounts of an unidentified member of the Medici family for the year 1581-1583. The ledger, written in the first person, often includes the nature of a given credit or debt and its amount, as well as listing the names of the individuals or institutions that hold the debt or credit, the most important being various members of the Medici family, including Carlo de' Medici and his heirs; Vincenzo de' Medici; Elisabetta (referred to as Lisabetta) de' Medici; Giulio de' Medici; Bernardo de' Medici; Camillo Medici; numerous workers (including farmers, shoemakers, and wool workers); the Monte di pietà of Florence; Piero Pagni; Lionardo Giraldi (husband of Elisabetta de' Medici); Matteo di Francesco Brocchi; Filippo Spinelli; Vincenzo Latini; Francesco Risaliti; and Giovanbattista Detti. Contains accounts related to a large number of different activities, including the management of farms located in the Maremma, outside Florence (in particular, most transactions concern expenses for the well-being of horses and cattle); trades and payments made to members of the guild of the lanaioli for services or for the purchase of textile products; expenses related to household management; and transactions with two booksellers, referred to as librai (p. 11 and p. xi)."
  • "Ledger of accounts of the Medici family for the years 1595-1596. Often includes the nature of a given transaction and its amount, as well as listing the names of the individuals that act as counterparts in the transaction. In most cases the transactions are in kind (examples of the produce used for these payments are chestnuts, grains, cattle feed, cattle, swine) but some cash transactions are also present. The counterparts in the transactions are often employees or tenants of the Medici family, and as such can pay in kind, or receive in kind payments. Also includes detailed production accounts of various farms, property of the Medici family, organized according to the produce (millet, chestnuts, barley, grains, feed, wine, oil); and detailed accounts of how said produce is distributed or used."
  • "Ledger of accounts of Vincenzo de' Medici, son of Carlo de' Medici, for the years 1583-1592. Often includes the nature of a given transaction and its amount, as well as listing the names of the individuals that act as counterparts in the transaction. In certain cases the transactions are in kind (examples of the produce used for these payments are chestnuts, grains, cattle feed, cattle, swine) but cash transactions are not uncommon. In spite of the upper cover, which presents the word Possesione, this is not a property ledger, but rather a ledger of accounts regarding the Valdenievole estate, located between Florence and Pistoia. The counterparts in the transactions are often employees or tenants of Vincenzo de' Medici, and as such can pay in kind, or receive in kind payments. Other expenses are related to the management of the properties for the purchase of fertilizers and manure, or cattle, grains, feed and other produce."
