Copies of legal proceedings pertaining to Bernardo Alamanno de' Medici. Approximately ten documents, most in the same hand, written between October of 1506 and August of 1507, with much discussion of both goods and property, but contains title page (f. 1r) for the entire item, marked Filza XVIII, segnata [con la] lettera S. Three major sections discuss depositaries (f. 23v-43v), legal proceedings (f. 45r-94r), and the military's involvement with Bernardus' case (f. 97r-108r). Each document contains the YHS (Jesus) monogram at the top of each initial page along with a date, as well as a short, marginal summary of the document on the upper left side of the page. Many of the documents concern a Johannes Luchinnis(?). Several documents contain marginal notations (example on f. 44v). Some sections crossed out in contemporary ink. Contains a few notarial signatures.
