[Sca-cooks] Expenses for Food and Lodging of the Embassy from Aragon, 1415

[Decker, Terry D.]

One of the early entries in the expense account is:  "20 half-flagons of
wine at at four pence each, six shilling ten pence;."

Later entries drop the each, but seem to give price per unit followed by
total cost.  It is a diarized notation rather than a columnar account, which
suggests that the clerk maintaining the record is not used to mercantile
accounting.
