2 The problem is too complex to treat in a review, but it is possible, in particular instances, to assess that portion ofthegabelle assigned creditors and thus not recorded in the communal entrata. Runs of certain gabelles are quite full, since income was assigned to the special treasurers for the hire of troops and maintenance of garrisons. For a complete description of gabelles collected directly by the communal treasury and not sold at auction, see Provveditori Massari di Camera, Campione di Entrata e Uscita, 5, fols. 395v-396v
