CHAP. CCCXXVI. Of Examples of the
Exchanges practised in Rome, and how the same are calculated.
* 1.1I Have shewed in the general
Exchanges of Rome, with how many places the same is found to exchange; and there also shewed the common Rates how the same doth govern, which every day is observed to alter, that no set Rule can be Peremptorily laid down for the same; yet is in it self so beneficial, that thereby the ignorant may make his calculation, either in his
Draughts, or Remittances: the way of making which account now remaineth to be hand∣led, observing the same with so many other places, as may be fit to understand the ground thereof.
It is also there noted, for the understanding of what is to follow, That Bankers and Ex∣changers in Rome do keep their accounts in Crowns of Stampe or Camera, Sols, and Deniers of Gold named of the Eight Stampe, which are numbered by 20 and 12, because that 20 Sols of Gold makes a Crown, and 12 Deniers a
Sol.
The Crown of Stampe being worth
12
Julio's
The Crown in Money worth
10
And the Julio•• worth
10
Baio's.
Notes
* 1.1
Exchanges practised in Rome, and first with Lions.
