[Ledger of Medici accounts]
- "Ledger of accounts of an unidentified member of the Medici family for the years 1543-1546. 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. Among the names that appear throughout the ledger and who act as counterparts in the transactions, the most frequent are Simone Lotti; Antonio Cavalcanti; Antonio Bandovinetti; Andrea Mannucci; Vincenzo Ferrini; Francesco Lapi; the podestà (highest authority of the city) of San Gimignano; the captain (important member of the city council) of Montepulciano; the community of Volterra; and the city of Bibiena. Transactions are for the most part related to payments of taxes from small villages, and debts and credits. Some of the individuals who appear in the ledger are members of different Florentine aristocratic families who worked for the Medici as diplomats or statesmen, but who also often acted as business counterparts. In certain cases employees and farmers who worked for the Medici family also appear, together with institutional officers of cities close to Florence."
- "Ledger of accounts of the brothers Andrea and Vincenzo de' Medici, sons of Carlo de' Medici (p. 25), 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 various properties. The counterparts in the transactions are often employees or tenants of the two de' Medici brothers, 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."
