grant of privileges for Florentine See also:trade. Between 1335 and 1343, probably in 1339-1340, he compiled his See also:Libra di divisamenti di paesi e di misuri di mercatanzie e d'altre See also:case bisognevoli di sapere a' mercatanti, commonly known as the Pratica della mercatura (the name given it by Pagnini). Beginning with a sort of glossary of See also:foreign terms then in use for all kinds of taxes or payments on merchandise as well as for " every See also:kind of See also:place where goods might be bought or sold in cities," the Pratica next describes some of the See also:chief trade routes of the 14th See also:century, and many of the See also:principal markets then known to See also:Italian merchants; the imports and exports of various important commercial regions; the business customs prevalent in each of those regions; and the See also:comparative value of the leading moneys, weights and See also:measures. The most distant and extensive trade routes described by Pegolotti are: (1) that from See also:Tana or See also:Azov to See also:Peking via See also:Astrakhan, See also:Khiva, Otrar, See also:Kulja and Kanchow (Gittarchan, Organci, Ottrarre, Armalecco and Camexu in the Pratica); (2) that from Lajazzo on the Cilician See also:coast to See also:Tabriz in See also:north See also:Persia via See also:Sivas, See also:Erzingan and See also:Erzerum (Salvastro, Arzinga and Arzerone); (3) that from See also:Trebizond to Tabriz. Among the markets enumerated are: Tana, See also:Constantinople, See also:Alexandria, See also:Damietta, and the ports of Cyprus and the See also:Crimea. Pegolotti's notices of ports on the north of the See also:Black See also:Sea are very valuable; his See also:works show us that Florentine exports had now gained a high reputation in the See also:Levant. In other chapters an See also:account is given of 14th-century methods of packing goods (ch. 20; of See also:assaying See also:gold and See also:silver (ch. 35); of shipment; of " London in See also:England in itself " (ch. 62); of monasteries in See also:Scotland and England (" Scotland of England," Scozia di Inghilterra) that were See also:rich in See also:wool (ch. 63). Among the latter are Newbattle, See also:Balmerino, See also:Cupar, See also:Dunfermline, Dundrennan, Glenluce, Coldingham, See also:Kelso, Newminster near See also:Morpeth, See also:Furness, Fountains, Kirkstall, Kirstead, Swineshead, Sawley
and See also:Calder. Pegolotti's See also:interest in England and Scotland is chiefly connected with the wool trade.
There is only one MS. of the Pratica, viz. No. 2441 in the Riccardian Library at See also:Florence (241 fols., occupying the whole See also:volume), written in 1471; and one edition of the See also:text, in vol. iii. of Gian Francesco Pagnini's Della Decima e delle altre gravezze imposte dal See also:commune di Firenze (See also:Lisbon and See also:Lucca—really Florence—1766) ; See also:Sir See also:- HENRY
