This paper discusses an account book of Renaissance Florence held by the Center for Historical Social Science Literature of the Hitotsubashi University (Tokyo). It was written by the Florentine merchant Francesco di Giuliano de’ Medici in 1471-1472 when, aged about twenty, he travelled in Turkey for the commerce of wool fabrics produced by the firm of his father. The paper analyzes the contents of the register and compares them with those of other Florentine account books written in Turkey for the same purpose, in order to clarify the development of the Florentine commerce with the Ottoman Empire.
