[LIÈGE] [MANUSCRIT ]- "Journal of sales on credit and money received belonging to Sieur A:M: Bovÿ master in surgery, wine merchant". [Liege], 1783-1806. In-folio, contemporary brown calf, framed with fillets and scrolls on the boards, spine mute with nerves decorated with cold fillets. Some stains passim, browning and wetness on some pages, binding very faded, boards detached. Voluminous account book of a wine merchant, also "master surgeon" (!), covering more than 20 years of activity, a large part of which was under the French regime. Each account details the name of the client or debtor, with brief information on his status, function, place of residence, etc. The mention of various parishes and places in the city of Liege makes it possible to locate the merchant's place of residence. Among his clientele, located essentially in Liege and the surrounding area (Ans, Herstal, Crisnée, etc.), we find many ecclesiastics (an abbot, a canon of St. Peter's, the parish priest of Momalle, a boarder of the Recollectines, the convent of the penitents of Hocheporte, the convent of the Minimes, etc.), notables (the count of Liège), and a number of other people.), notabilities (count of Liedekerke-Surlet, knight Bronckart - former burgomaster -, notaries, a judge, a director of the messenger services, a commissioner in Cologne, etc.), innkeepers, coopers, apothecaries, etc., as well as relatives, such as his "wife", who was a member of the family, The number of pieces and bottles of wine is carefully noted, as well as their origin: Burgundy, Bordeaux, Moselle, Champagne, Rhine, Alicante...
