Abstract
One of the most outstanding characteristics of the late 14th century merchant letters is the extraordinary variety of their contents. The medieval merchants pour in their correspondences a flood of informations about economics, politics, health, society, art, private life in the widest possible meaning, and offer to contemporary scholars a very original and rich source to a multidisciplinary analysis on late medieval society. The letters in fact offer an extremely rich material to researchers not only on the economic history of the late 14th century, but also on the wider field of political, religious, material, sanitary history and to the analysis of interpersonal relationships and histoire de la mentalite of this period.
