The amount involved was not small. The revenue of Florence at this period was only three hundred thousand florins (Sismondi, Rep. Ital. ch.

36), and Florence was one of the richest states in Europe. Villani (XI.

92) boasts that France alone enjoyed a larger revenue; that of Naples was less, and the three were the wealthiest in Christendom.

1376.--A doc.u.ment of 1374 (Archiv. Fior. Prov. S. Croce, 1374, Nov. 17) allows that Fra Piero di Ser Lippo, at that time Inquisitor of Florence, was defendant in an action brought against him in the papal curia by the Dominican Fra Simone del Pozzo, Inquisitor of Naples, in which Fra Piero seems to have obtained what was equivalent to a nonsuit.
