This ledger is similar to the renowned work Pratica della Mercatura and delivers significant insights for the era, exhibiting concordance with other contemporaneous sources. It addresses the commercially significant cities along the land and water routes reaching Byzantium, the Anatolian principalities, the Golden Horde, the Mamluks, the Ilkhanids, Chagatai Khanate and China. The ledger appears to have been composed as a guide for Western merchants. The first 67 folios of the 154-folio ledger explain how Western merchants could conduct trade in cities spanning the Mediterranean, Black Sea, and the center of the Chagatai Khanate. Robert-Henri Bautier published the significant sections of the first part of the ledger in its original language. Here, translations of these sections are presented based on Bautier's text. This study investigates major port cities in the Mediterranean, Black Seas and the connection between West and China, the commercial goods traded in these cities, and their economic conditions during the pertinent historical period, based on the information in the ledger.enSilkRoadChagatai KhanatePaxMongolicaSpicesMamluksArticle40110.18513/egetid.1644864WOS:001548531900002
