Of the exchanges of Milan for Genoa.
MILAN exchangeth with Genoa, and giveth posito* 1.1sols 118½ to have in Genoa one cro: for 4 l. of that mony, I demand for l. 5703-18-0 of Milan, how many Liuers of currant mony shall I have in Genoa, first reduce the said summe into sols, multiplying them by 20 and adding to the multiplycation the 18 sols which ac∣count with the Liuers, and then of the sols produced, and of the said sols 118½ taken for devisior, bring into ½ sols and deviding the same will become crownes, and the remainder of the devision multiply by 20 and by 12 to make them sols and deniers of gold, and they will make crowns 962-13-8. of l. 4 mony of Genoa, the which to bring into Liuers, must be multiplyed by l. 4 per cro: beginning to multiply, the sayd l. 4. by deniers 8, and by the sols 13 which are with the crownes, calculating for 12 deniers, 1 sol, and for 20 sols one Liuer, it will come to l. 3850-14 8, and so many Li∣vers of mony currant, shall you have in Genoa for the sayd Liuers 5703-18 of Milan.〈 math 〉〈 math 〉
The proofe of the said rule is seene when that Genoa doth ex∣change* 1.2 for Milan.
