The Cely Papers is a historical book that offers a unique glimpse into the lives of the Cely family, who were prominent merchants of the staple in the late 15th century. The book presents a selection of their correspondence and memoranda, which provide valuable insights into their business dealings, personal lives, and the political and social climate of the time.The correspondence and memoranda included in the book cover a period of 13 years, from 1475 to 1488, and are presented in their original form with modern translations and annotations. The documents offer a fascinating look at the daily operations of a successful merchant family, including their dealings with other merchants, their financial transactions, and their efforts to protect their interests in the face of political upheaval.The book also sheds light on the personal lives of the Cely family, including their relationships with each other and with their servants. The family's letters reveal their concerns about health, family members who are away on business, and the challenges of maintaining a household in a time of economic and political uncertainty.Overall, The Cely Papers is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of medieval England, the lives of merchants and their families, and the social and political climate of the late 15th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
