Summary:

Ledger of accounts for the estate attached to the Priory of San Jacopo, located in Piano di Radici, Terranuova Bracciolini, Arezzo, property of Bartolomeo Concini, for the years 1606-1628, written by the accountant Ottaviano Casini. Most of the accounts that appear in the ledger are related to the very diversified production of the estate. It included wine and oil; beans (fava, cicerchie, lupini and borlotti); cereal (wheat; barley; and flaxseed); meat and cheese (swine; chickens; pigeons; beef; veal; lambs; sheep and sheep's cheese) and assorted produce (fresh fruit; vegetables; and dried figs). The goods were sold or exchanged and part of the production was used for the compensation of workers. Oil, wine and meat were also sent to the Florentine house of Bartolomeo Concini at regular intervals. There are also records of the rent that farmers paid to Bartolomeo to use his land, and it was usually partly in kind. A small amount of expenses related to farm management (including material for repairs and farming tools) is also present.
