Lucca.
* 1.1LIons Exchangeth with Lucca, and taketh
Crowns 100 to pay in Lucca posito 103⅙ of
Livers 7½ the Crown: I demand for Crowns
1234—5—6 of Gold of the Sun, how much must I pay in the said City of Lucca: To know which, I multiply the said sum of Crowns of the Sun by Crowns 103⅙ and from its Product cut off the two last figures, the which I multiply by 20 to come to Sols, and then by 12 to come to Deniers, and it will make Crowns 1273—7—2, which I must pay in the said place of Lucca: Example. 〈 math 〉〈 math 〉
* 1.2Note, that if in Lions it be paid in mony, there is one per cent. given more, so that receiving in the said place of Lucca, the said
Crowns 1273—7—2 in mony of the said place, the
Debt•…•… shall be bound to pay more Crowns 12. 14 8, which is in all Crowns
1286—1—10; as for Exam∣ple thus cast up.
