Summary:

Collection of legal, notarial, and financial documents (mostly original, but with some copies) dealing with the affairs of various members of Florentine families, predominantly the Gondi, but also the Medici, the Altoviti, and the Salviati, as well as their business counterparts. Most of the documents concern the sale or purchase of real property (often accompanied by inventories) in the Florentine countryside, especially farms and land, and in Florence; wills, detailed commentaries of how they were executed, and disputes over inheritance or dowries are also present.

Notes:

These documents have been disbound from a heavy paper cover with the pages of the documents numbered consecutively throughout the volume. The cover is stored with the documents.
