has description

This is a sentence delivered by the eight officials of the Officium mercantie on the sale by Agostino de Gropallo of an enslaved Tatar woman named Maddalena, who was described as being pregnant, to the merchant named Lanfranco Cicogna. The sale was made under the condition that if Maddalena was unable to sufficiently serve as a wet nurse for Lanfranco within 15 days of the exchange, then he would be able to return her to Agostino and receive his payment back. Lanfanco claimed that Maddalena was not able to adequately serve as a wet nurse, while Agostino claimed that she was and that Lanfranco was unlawfully backing out of the contract. The Officium mercantie, after hearing the evidence, declared the sale to be void. The appellant Agostino was represented by his father Manfredo during the hearing. At the time of sale the defendant Lanfranco was represented by the merchant named Niccolò de Novaria.
