  • 7. The ash from burnt vine shoots was used to make a medical plaster (A. Evans (ed.), Pegolotti (Francesco Balducci), La Pratica della Mercatura (Cambridge, Mass., 1936), 430).
  • 8. See also below, 618.
  • 9. The 1480 fleet of three Venetian state galleys, including that of Bernard Bondymer, had entered Southampton on 12 February 1481. After staying there for more than three months Bondymer's galley left for London and the other two for Flanders (The Port Books of Southampton for the Reign of Edward IV, 1469–1481, eds. D. B. Quinn and A. A. Ruddock (Southampton, 1937–8), II, xxix).
  • 10. Hereafter calendared simply as 'for'. It seems probable that this and subsequent entries indicate that Italian merchants were handling merchandise on behalf of certain members of the crew or other merchants.
  • 11. ? The 'padrone giurato' who was in command of the personnel on board the galley between the bow and the mainmast (C. Manfroni, 'Cenni Sugli Ordinamenti Delle Marine Italiane Del Medio Evo', Rivista Marittima (Rome, 1898) 473, 485). Cf. 'Tamiso Peron Jurato' of the galley of Baley Trevisan at Southampton in 1481 (The Port Books of Southampton for the Reign of Edward IV, op. tit. 193).
  • 12. ? Flared or trumpet-shaped glasses, a common shape for Venetian goblets.

  • 15. ? Prodiere (Venetian 'proviere'): an oarsman who rowed and steered at the bow (G. Bertoni, Dizionario di Marina Medievale e Moderno (Rome, 1937), 686–7).
  • 16. Probably for 'sotto comito' the second mate (Jal, op. tit., 1370).
  • 17. 'Rosso' was a term used to describe a soldier of the free corps, each of whom wore a red cape or surcoat (A. Guglielmotti, Vocabolario Marino e Militare (Rome, 1889), 1523).
  • 18. Each galley had a counsellor, an experienced man who, subject to the authority of the captain or patron, gave orders regarding matters of navigation and kept the charts and portolanos (Manfroni, loc. cit.; Jal, op. cit. 503).
  • 19. Portolato: an oarsman who set the stroke for the others; also, a stern oarsman (Jal, op. tit., 1208; M. E. Mallett, The Florentine Galleys in the Fifteenth Century (Oxford, 1967), 202).
  • 20. The galley of Alowisus George, patron, which had reached Southampton in company with that of Bernard Bondemer (The Port Books of Southampton for the Reign of Edward IV, op. cit. xxix).

  • 22. The purser was a quasi-public official who paid the crew and also kept accounts of all merchandise loaded and unloaded (Manfroni, loc. cit.).
  • 23. The assistant purser kept account of the amount spent on food on the galley (ibid. 487).
  • 24. The commander of galley. Each galley was leased by the senate to the nobleman who was the highest bidder, provided that the latter was a capable person of proper age and with reliable financial backers. The patron had to recruit and pay the necessary officers and crew and follow the senate's instructions for the voyage. He received payments from the merchants for their board and freight charges on goods exported and imported and also traded on his own account (ibid. 472–3, 484; F. C. Lane, Venice and History (Baltimore, 1966), 45–52).
