CHAP. CCCLXVI.

Of the Exchange of Genoa with Naples.

GEnoa doth Exchange with Naples and giveth posito 66⅔ Sols * 1.1 of current money, to have in this place one Du. of 5 Ta∣ries, I demand then for liv. 4486. 3. 4 current Money, how many Duc. in credit shall I have in Naples?

First reduce all the said summe of Livers with the said lib. 66 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of current Money into Deniers, multiplying the Livers by 20, and the Sols that come thereof by 12, doing the same by the Sols, of the price of the Exchange, multiplying the same by 12, and by the Division thereof, it will make Duccats 1345, and multiplying the remainder of the Division by 100, by reason that 100 Grains doth make one Duccat, and there will come Gra. 85, which are worth 4 Taries, and Gra. 5, seeing, as hath beene before remem∣bred, that 1 Tarie is in Naples 20 Grains, and by thus working, it will make Duccats 1345. 4. 5, and so much shall the credit bee in Naples, as by the Example. 〈 math 〉〈 math 〉

The proofe of this account is seene, when Naples shall Exchange backe with Genoa. I could much more inlarge the Exchanges pra∣ctised * 1.2 at Genoa with other places, but for brevity I willingly o∣mit the same, and therefore now come to the Commissions and Or∣ders given in matters of Exchanges at Genoa.
