Lot no. 350
[PORT D'ARME - MANUSCRIT] - Notabili pregiudicy che provengono al Smo Principe dalla permissione degli archibugi nel Regno di Corsica. 5 p. in-4°, half ivory vellum boards, later. Eighteenth-century manuscript in clearly legible handwriting. The disadvantages are first examined in 4 points: loss of taxes, loss of men, abandonment of crops, which normally bring in the boatico, i.e. half a sack of grain per pair of oxen, the need to bring in 3000 Lucquois due to the lack of manpower, the arrival of Greeks in Corsica, the island being depopulated. This is followed by ten points on the advantages of banning harquebuses: increased taxation, reduced expenditure, no risk of rebellion, ease of raising soldiers, etc.
