Alvise sells the zambellotti on April 6 to Ser Zuan Francesco Galuppo
for d.4 g.2 each which would be d.653 g.8, with a discount of 1%
corresponding to half of the sales tax leaving d.646 g.19 p.7.
Galuppo will pay him
d.300 in cash, and the rest at the end of July. Ser Francesco
Colonna, the middleman, gets a 1% commission on the sale. Alvise
has lost money on this deal, and balances
out the Zambelotti account by debiting the loss to
Profit & Loss.

On August 16, Alvise gives the 600 ducati note to Ser Venturin de la Vecchia,

Ser Venturin transfers to him ownership of 32
carisee (``kerseys,'' light woolen textiles that were one of
Venice's main exports to the Orient), in 3 bales,
on their way to Salonica, valued at 150 ducati. Ser Venturin guarantees that
the merchandise will arrive safely. Alvise credits Ser Venturin
153 ducati, 8 grossi for the transfer and the guarantee.
