INTRODUCTION
Unlike most metrological systems throughout Western Europe, the Italian developed during the Middle Ages and Early Modern era without any reference to a commonly accepted set of national-ethnic standards.
In England the Winchester,
and later the London, standards served as prototypes for bringing all of the thousands of local units into eventual alignment.
In France the weights and measures of Paris
occupied this position.
But Italy, with its many kingdoms,
duchies, communes, and the like, was never able to attain any level of metrological standardization outside the con fines of severely restricted, small, independent, political jurisdictions.
Generally not until the middle of the nine
teenth century, and practically not until unification was achieved in I87I 1 were Italian weights and measures given a totally national character.
And it was the metric system,
and not a conglomerate of units from the old, that finally accomplished the task.
This book presents a quantitative
compilation, synthesis, and analysis of the principal pre metric weights and measures employed throughout Italy and in those areas controlled or influenced by Italy from the Later Middle Ages to the age of metrication in the later nineteenth century. The tables that follow will aid the reader in using the dictionary.

If a local standard were identified

All units are explained

Also, letters superscripted in the source have been placed on the same line as the rest of the word (e.g., "43°^,186" becomes "43m,186"), except for the adjectival form of certain French and Italian numbers.
Similarly, whenever Roman numerals in XXX
manuscripts were written above another numeral (e.g.,
M ) or
elevated to the right of some number (e.g., M^^) , they have been placed on the text line, with brackets indicating the change.
If multiplication or addition is involved, the appro
priate arithmetical sign has been placed between the numbers (e.g., V^VII=57 is changed to V [x] X [+] VII=57). Other abbreviations, such as lb. or lib. for libra or libbra, and the apothecary symbols 3 ^°^ scrupolo, J for dramma, "5 for oncia, and
for apothecary libbra, have been retained as in
the original source. The bibliography is divided into two sections.
