La communication a pour but de présenter comment les marchands florentins réussissaient à accéder aux trafics caravaniers transsaharien et du Moyen-Orient grâce à des relations d’affaires tissées avec des artisans, négociants et boutiquiers juifs sur les places commerciales de Ciutat de Majorque et de Brousse (Anatolie). Elle sera basée sur la documentation laissée par des compagnies d’affaires florentines, croisées avec d’autres sources disponibles pour le Maghreb comme pour l’Empire ottoman. Il s’agit notamment des deux fonds majeurs que sont les archives Datini et Salviati en Toscane.

Programme de la conférence inaugurale du 19 septembre 2015 (pdf).

Argumentaire de la conférence :
The field of early modern dress history draws from a variety of sources in order to map out fashions and trends within the confines of readily available early modern source materials. The analysis of a vast range of sources is done in the context of an interdisciplinary research where different research fields and schools of thought collide and emerge in the form of dress history. Pictorial representations of early modern dress together with surviving garments, garment fragments and textiles form some of the obvious tools from which information is drawn and pieced together. Archival sources, including house inventories, account books and sumptuary legislation, among others, have also consistently been employed to verify the various types of garments used in the early modern period. However, while each of these sources have their definite merits, they also pose considerable challenges due to the fact that they can sometimes be fragmented. The conference aims to generate a discussion about the benefits and advantages, as well as the limitations and constraints that the plethora of these diverse sources pose in order to build a solid platform from which researchers can draw conclusions about early modern dress history.

[Intervention] Observations sur les conséquences financières d’une crise politique : l’expulsion des Florentins de Venise vue de la comptabilité Salviati, 1451-1454 (Matthieu Scherman)

Observations sur les conséquences financières d’une crise politique : l’expulsion des Florentins de Venise vue de la comptabilité Salviati (1451-1454)

I Fiorentini avevano fatto da Venezia il maggiore centro finanziario ma, nel giugno del 1451, il Senato decide di estrometterli. Il fatto politico è conosciuto. Però, non c’è stata una riflessione economica e finanziaria, ma anche di gestione economica di una crisi politica. La destabilizzazione del mercato dei cambi europei non è stata assai messa in rilievo. Un segno dell’importanza economica della faccenda è la celerità con la quale i Fiorentini sono richiamati a Venezia (dopo la pace di Lodi nel aprile 1454).
I registri contabili della famiglia fiorentina dei Salviati offrono uno punto di osservazione privilegiato della situazione provocata dalla decisione politica. Continuer la lecture

[Intervention] Credit Reallocation and Trade Finance in the Early Modern Age: The Fair Deposit (Nadia Matringe)

Doing Business with Strangers - copieAu colloque Doing Business with Strangers (Yale University, Whitney Humanities Center, 1-2 mai 2015), intervention de Nadia Matringe :

Credit Reallocation and Trade Finance in the Early Modern Age: The Fair Deposit

 

Abstract
This paper analyses the private records of a prominent bank in 16th century Lyons, that of the Salviati, to examine the role of the fair deposit in the financing of international trade. The fair deposit appears to be a flexible clearing instrument sustaining the auto- financing of European big business. The credit mobilized through deposit is mostly derived from international trade and banking, where it is instantly re-injected. Investments are stimulated by the numerous advantages offered by the Lyons fairs – ie. licit lending at interest, alternatives for investments, possibilities of purchases and rapid transfers – and by the confidentiality of Italian banks, which preserve the anonymity of their most important clients.
On the other hand, loans made to local and foreign businessmen nourish the trade of commodities and, above all, the exchange business abroad, conferring on Lyons a central position in the European trade and payment’s system. Such form of deposit banking is closely related to the development of banking firms working mostly on commission. However, the active role of these banks in organizing Lyons’ market as well as the interchangeability of positions between principals and agents, lead to a reexamination of the concept of financial intermediaries.

[Intervention] Livres de comptes et réseaux d’affaires : les fonds Datini et Salviati (XIVe-XVIe siècles) (Ingrid Houssaye Michienzi)

140e Congrès du CTHS, tenu à Reims sur le thème «Réseaux et Société», 27 avril-2 mai 2015 (Reims)


Le fonds Datini des archives de Prato et le fonds Salviati de la Scuola Normale Superiore de Pise sont les deux plus riches fonds d’entreprises de la première modernité européenne. Ils permettent la reconstruction d’importants réseaux d’affaires florentins parcourant les espaces européen et méditerranéen de la fin du XIVe et au XVIe siècle.
Les modus operandi apparaissent très clairement dans les livres comptables, permettant de reconstruire les interactions entre les compagnies d’affaires florentines, les opérateurs des places qu’ils fréquentaient et les réseaux fonctionnant à longue distance, dont les acteurs intervenaient dans un même environnement régional. À travers l’exemple de la compagnie Datini de Majorque et de la compagnie Salviati de Constantinople, il sera possible de prendre la mesure du lien étroit entre reconstruction de réseaux et comptabilités d’entreprise.
La communication cherchera, à travers des exemples concrets d’opérations commerciales, à définir une méthodologie permettant, à partir de telles sources, de reconstituer des réseaux d’affaires parcourant l’Europe et au-delà.

Communication présentée à l’European Social Science History Conference 2014 (ESSHC 2014, Vienne), Session « Learning and Training Patterns of Skilled Labour Force in Preindustrial Europe (14th-18th Centuries) ».

This paper aims to examine how Fiorentine merchants were trained to succeed in the bank business. The Salviati, from the Florence’s nobility, operated a bank in London from 1444 to 1445. After Florence and Pisa, London is the third bank to be opened, before Bruges. Thus, the network designed by the family linked Mediterranean and Northern Europe. Thanks to the documentation available, such as the accounting books and the tax declarations, it is we have gained a greater understanding of how people developed their skills as merchants-bankers.

Lyon_Braun_Hogenberg - copieL’entreprise florentine et la place de Lyon : l’activité de la banque Salviati au milieu du XVIe siècle
Résumé de thèse, Nadia Matringe

Texte publié le 1er février 2014

According to a long historiographical tradition, which culminating in R. Gascon’s monumental 1971 study on Lyons, Italian businessmen completely dominated Lyons’ economic life in the 16th century. Paradoxically, this perspective holds the field despite a lack of adequate extensive research into the archives of Italian firms: the precise modalities of their intervention in the marketplace remain largely unknown. Certain crucial aspects in particular have been neglected, such as their banking practices — which are difficult to extract from notarial, juridical or fiscal sources. Their analysis through the bankers’ private records require a technical and tedious scrutiny, which can often deter many an academic historian. The adaptation of Italian firms to the pre-existing local economic structures, which was a sine qua non of the durability of their presence in the marketplace, also failed to arouse the attention it deserved. Nevertheless, these issues are essential to understand the functioning of the firms and the marketplace − which is why I have found it necessary to re-examine the role played by Italian firms in Lyons, using the archives of one of the most important of them in the 16th century: the Salviati Bank.
