Summary:

Collection of legal, notarial, and financial documents (largely original, but with some copies) dealing with the affairs of various members of Florentine families, principally the Gondi and the Medici, and their commercial and financial relationships with local institutions such as the Monte di pietà and the church of Santa Maria Novella (also referred to as Santa Maria Nuova). The majority of the 16th- and 17th-century documents are in Italian, but items in Latin are also present, primarily used in 15th- and early 16th-century documents and some of the 17th-century legal documents. Documents that do not concern the aforementioned businesses include the will of Lorenzo Gondi; several suppliche, addressed to the grand-duke Ferdinando I of Tuscany; and miscellaneous memoranda, accounts, and inventories written by a number of different individuals.

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.
