[Ledger of Medici forward contracts]
- "Ledger of forward contracts between Vincenzo de' Medici, son of Carlo de' Medici, and members of other aristocratic families of Florence and the Spanish royal family, as well as smaller private investors, for the years 1609-1611. 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. Most transactions are related to the textile business, which was of crucial importance for the Medici family. More precisely, the ledger contains detailed summaries of contracts to sell a standardized quantity of a textile product of standardized quality (agreed between the counterparts) at a certain date in the future, at a price determined at the time of writing of the contract. In certain cases a discounted price is offered to a counterpart. The future date in which the transaction is to be settled is also noted."
