Account Book of Sant'Andrea in Mels
Account Book of the Church of Sant’Andrea in Mels, in Latin, manuscript on vellum, Mels, in the province of Udine, [c.1335].
An intriguing insight into the economic life of the Church of Sant’Andrea in the small village of Mels, in Friuli, with mentions of other neighbouring villages in the province of Udine like Bicinicco, Vendoglio, Codugnella and Lauzacco.

200 x 143mm. 6 leaves, the final two blank, modern foliation in pencil 1-6, 29 lines in a very neat, formal, 14th-century hand, ruled space: 155 x 100mm, pinpricks survive, later marginal annotations (some marginal staining, wormholing to final leaves). Contemporary limp vellum binding (yellowed and stained).

Provenance:
(1) The Church of Sant’ Andrea at Mels, in Friuli: title on front cover ‘Rotulus antiquus introituum Capelle Sancti Andree Castri de Melso’, and on f.1 ‘Rotulus Introituum Castri Melsi’. The dates in the entries go from 13 August 1271 to 17 August 1335. The entries are all copied out in a single hand, which means the manuscript must have been written sometime after or around 1335. The first entry reads: ‘Imprimis ista s[un]t decima pr[es]biteri danielis de melso in baijda d[omi]ni francisci de coloreto unu[m] campu[m] solvit decimam soldos XVI.’: the original 12th-century document from which this comes is mentioned by D. Piccini, Lessico latino medievale in Friuli, 2006, p.201 (found in MS Mels 47).
(2) Colker MS 248; acquired in 1974 from Renzo Rizzi.
