The Cantelowe Accounts - Multilingual merchant records from Tuscany, 1450-1451
No full textThe Cantelowe Accounts appear to offer the earliest evidence of an English merchant using Italian as a second language. They were written by John Balmayn, an unknown Londoner, who travelled to Tuscany to oversee the sale of a valuable wool shipment in 1450-51 on behalf of his master - the Mercer, Sir William Cantelowe. The author uses an intriguing mix of four languages, combining Middle English, Latin and Anglo-French with the administrative Tuscan that he has learnt working alongside Florentine partners, such as the Salviati company. Two other striking features of the text are the extensive use of Arabic numerals, unparalleled in fifteenth-century English accounting, and the unusually detailed descriptions of merchant marks that were used to identify the woolsacks. Overall, the accounts are unique amongst multilingual medieval sources and will interest economic historians and historical linguists alike

Born in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, he was one of seven children of Jehu and Eleanor (Nellie) Foster Kirksey. In 1822 his family moved to Greene County, Alabama, and in 1839 Kirksey moved to Eutaw, Alabama, where he lived the rest of his life. Having served as deputy sheriff in 1836, he was elected sheriff in 1845, serving until 1848. His business endeavors continued throughout his life, though his post-war partnerships are especially interesting, relating as they do to factorage and commission merchandizing in the 1870s and 1880s. In 1845 he married Jane Merriwether, daughter of Dr. Zachery Merriwether of Greene County. She died in 1857, leaving no children.
