Summary:

Decision written Feb. 5, 1331 (dated Feb. 5, 1330 in manuscript), issued by the vicar-general of the bishop of Siena (Donusdei Malavolti, a bishop of Siena before its elevation to archdiocese in 1459), ordering Mino, Ambrogio Nese, Girolamo, Barna, and Vangelista Piccolomini, sons of the late Caffino di Bartolomeo Piccolomini, to make restitution to Broccholio di Lello of Corsignano (in the province of Siena) and his mother Tina. The restitution was for a loan contract between Caffino, a money lender, and the Lelli that the vicar-general determined was usuriously made out at a higher sum than the debtors received.
