Context
|
|
The 18 parts deal mostly with military, legal and commercial matters related to Livorno. One section contains documents about English corsairs willing to retire to Tuscany. The volume also includes documents on a controversy between some Jewish merchants, a privateer and the Council of Algiers, and the wool trade with Spain in 1632. The last section contains mostly letters from Ottavio Cappelli to Andrea Andrea Cioli, covering day by day business from 1629 to 1639. [Other letters by Cioli of this period on the matters treated in the volume can be found in: Miscellanea Medicea, 619]
