Summary:

Notebook of receipts and memoranda of Giulio di Giovanni Rucellai for the years 1609-1621, at least partially written by Giulio himself in the first person. The first part of the manuscript (f.1r-12v) contains receipts of payments made to Giulio and it includes the name of the counterpart that made the payment as well as the amount received. The second part (f.12v-14v) contains accounts, memoranda, debts and credits, kept by someone else after Giulio's death in 1621. Includes information concerning Giulio's will, which left a large sum of money to the Spedale di Santa Maria Novella, where he died, as well as accounts of the expenses required for Giulio's funeral and mass. The small number of debts and credits that appear in the notebook are transactions that could not be settled with Giulio before his death and that were passed on to his heirs. 6 notes, folded inside the upper cover of the manuscript, contain receipts concerning transactions between Giulio Rucellai, Luigi Arrigucci and Maria Acciaiuoli.
