Law and Trade in the Early Fifteenth-Century the Case of Cagi Sati Oglu

On 28 August 1413 the Turk Cagi Sati oglu appeared before Paulo de Mon taldo, the podest , or head of the Genoese government in Chios.1 Cagi Sati oglu was the ambassador of Ciineyd, the ruler of Aydin, and he had brought letters from Ciineyd to Paulo de Montaldo. The letters were in Greek and had been translated into Latin by the notary Giovanni Balbi. According to the letters, Cagi Sati oglu was there to represent, on behalf of Ciineyd, the interests of a certain Cagi Sorti of Theologos, that is from the beylik of Aydin, who was one of Ciineyd's subjects. According to these letters, Cagi Sorti had brought a case to the court in Chios 13 months previously against the fideicommissors, or agents, or Sorleonis Salvaigi for three ducats. This case had been entered into the court records, but so far Cagi Sorti had not been able to obtain a settlement. A deferment of the judgement had been granted to the fideicommissors by the vicarius, or deputy, of the podest y for one year. This period had now elapsed. Notwithstanding this deferment, Cagi Sorti had not been able to pursue his case against the fideicom missors nor to obtain a settlement
