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

traditionally by a particular descriptive phrase (e.g., "braccio da panno" or "catena architettonica") it will appear in the text either in quotation , ■marks or in parentheses for every city in which it was employed.

All units are explained

After each major metrological variation or group of var­ iations there are citations from the appropriate sources: The date at the beginning of these citations always represents the year in which the manuscript or book

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.
