The folios are unnumbered and the various documents are often undated. Most of this material derives from a large bound volume that was recently broken down into three folders ("inserti") of various gatherings and loose sheets. These three folders are roughly chronological: Folder One contains material primarily from the years 1642-43; FoldersTwo and Three from 1635-1636. There is also a fourth item, a bound register of the "Banda di Enpoli" (circa 1647.)

Mainly a collection of administrative documents dealing with the Tuscan land forces, 1635-1647. In Insert One, there are various lists of conscripts at the time of the Castro War. Inserts Two and Three contain muster rolls of the Tuscan army in Lombardy, 1635-1636, with a few other related documents. There is also a separate bound muster roll of the Empoli militia, undated but circa 1647.
