has description
The slaveholder named Paride Fieschi obtains permission from the Officium sindicatorum to sell an enslaved woman named Elena, whom he had purchased from a draper named Giacomo de Amandola, outside the republic of Genoa. The sale by Giacomo to Paride had stipulated that she could not be sold outside the republic of Genoa. Paride testified that he had tried to sell Elena several times in Genoa and Savona but was unable because of her bad reputation caused by her bad behaviour. He claimed that Elena led a dishonourable life and, because of her behaviour, it was necessary to have her imprisoned. He claimed that the behaviour was deliberate and stemmed from her awareness that he could not sell her outside of Genoa. The Officium sindicatorum granted Paride permission to sell Elena anywhere outside of Genoa except for Ibiza, and that Paride is allowed to receive up to 121½ Genoese lire for her sale.
