Included are copies of letters written by Cosimo I with the replies of the Republic of Siena (1553-1554), by Fabio Piccolomini (Rome, 19 October 1588), Tomasso Boninsegni (Siena, 12 February 1588), and Alesso Figliucci (Siena, 15 January 1588). Of special interest is a letter by Filippo Sassetti (1540-1588) from the Portuguese colony of Santa Croce di Cocerino in India (27 January 1585). There are copies of treaties concluded between Clement VII, the Emperor Charles V and the city of Florence (August 1530), and between Phillip II and Cosimo I (3 July 1557). There is also a report on the campaign to besiege Siena written by Gianjacomo Medichino, Marquis of Marignano who led the besieging army in 1552. The treatises include Piero Angeli da Barga's REGOLA..NEL'LEGGERE L'HISTORIE (printed in Italian in Florence, 1611), Scipio di Castro's COMPENDIO DELLA INSTITUTIONE DEL PRINCIPE (first published in 1602) and a series of orations given by Giambattista Deti (1539-1607) given on the occasion of the appointments of several consuls to the Accademia Fiorentina (1585, 1586). Finally, there is a copy of a letter by the humanist Filippo Strozzi to Alessandro Vitelli concerning Strozzi's translation of Polybius which appeared in Florence in 1551.
