Note 3 — Chapter XXXIV · AND LAST (continued 2)

The Mark was ⅔ of a pound. The English Pound Sterling of the period was in silver value = 3l. 5s. 2d. Hence the Mark = 2l. 3s. 5·44d. The Cologne Mark, according to Pegolotti, was the same, and the Venice Mark of silver was = 1 English Tower Mark + 3½ sterlings (i.e. pence of the period), = therefore to 2l. 4s. 4·84d. The French Mark of Silver, according to Dupré de St. Maur, was about 3 Livres, presumably Tournois, and therefore 2l. 2s. 11½d.
