EVELYN PAPERS. Vols. VII, VIII. Accounts of the Merchant Adventurers trading to Barbary; 1585-1589. Fair copies, partly imperfect. Letters patent were issued on 5 July 1585 (PRO, C66/1266/1-3) for the charter of the Barbary Company, which was to run for twelve years. Leicester was a leading member, along with his secretary (later Sir) Arthur Attye, Richard Staper, a Levant merchant, and Alexander Avenon, who acted as agent in London. Henry Roberts, agent in Morocco, returned from Marrakesh in August 1588 and Leicester died in the following month. The present records were compiled some five months later, evidently as part of the settlement of Leicester’s affairs, from ledgers in possession of the Company. The present volumes formed the basis of chapter 7 in T. S. Willan, Studies in Elizabethan Foreign Trade (Manchester, 1959), pp. 240-265.
Two volumes.
