CHAP. CCCLXXV. Of the Exchanges of Venice with Millan.

* 1.1VEnice doth exchange with Millan, and giveth posito Sols 148½, to have in Millan one Crown of Livers 5, and 17 Sols of that Money: I demand, for Duc. 1486⅕ of Liv. 6¼, what credit in Livers shall Venice have in Millan? First multiply the said sum of Duc. by 124. Sol. the value of the Duc. of Li. 6⅕, and it will make Sol. 184295. the which divided by Sol 148½, to see how much the Crowns of Millan are worth, and multiplying the remainder of the di∣vision by 20 and by 12, to make them Sols and Deniers of Gold, and they will make Crowns 1241, and 10 Deniers, the which multiplyed by Li. 5. 17. the price of the Crown to make them Livers, beginning to multiply the Livers 5 by the 10 Deniers, which are worth the Crown, 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 Ducats 1486¼ of Livers 6⅕ of Venice; as by the Example following: 〈 math 〉〈 math 〉
