Of the Exchanges of Venice with Millan.
VEnice doth exchange with Millan, and giveth posito Sols 148½, to have in Millan one Crowne of Livers 5, and 17 Sols of that Money: I demand, for Ducc. 1486¼ of Li. 6⅕, what credit in Livers shall Venice have in Millan? First multiply the said summe of Ducc. by 124 Sol. the value of the Ducc. of Li. 6 〈◊〉〈◊〉, and it will make Sol. 184295. the which divide by Sol. 148½, to see how much the Crownes of Millan are worth, and multiplying the remainder of the division by 20 and by 12, to make them Sols and Deniers of Gold, and they will make Crow. 1241, and 10 Deniers, the which multiplyed by Li. 5. 17. the price of the Crow. to make them Livers, beginning to multiply the Livers 5 by the 10 Deniers, which are worth the Crowne, and then with the Sols, if any be, calculating for 12 Deniers 1 Sol, and for 20 Sols 1 Liver, and of the product thereof will come Li. 7260. 1. 10. And so much credit shall Venice have in Millan, for the said Duccats 1486¼ of Livers 6 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of Venice; as by the Example following. 〈 math 〉〈 math 〉
The proofe of this rule is seene, when Millan doth exchange with Venice.
