Biographical synthesis

Nicolas de Ferrari [alt. Nicholas de fferrari] (b. ca. 1600; d. ?). Merchant.

Resident in London in 1645 and 1654.

Evidence from High Court of Admiralty

May 1645

Describing himself as a merchant stranger and aged forty-five, Nicolas de Ferrari deposed on May 14th 1645 in the High Court of Admiralty. He testified in a cause concerning a ship named the Santa Clara. De Ferrari was clearly familiar with Seville and with Spain, since he mentions having seen a document or register "from the Contraction House in Sivill in Spaine". The ship the Santa Clara (master: ffrancisco Allecant) had undertaken a voyage from San Lucar to the Eest Indies. As was custom, the master of the ship had made an entry in the Contarction House of the particulars of goods to be taken in, by whom they were laded and to whom they were to be delivered, with a copy of the entry signed by "the Governor the Kings Officer and the Secretary of that place". This entry was by custom given full faith and credit by those to whom goods were signed, and obviated the need for bills of exchange.[1]

December 1654

Aged fifty-four, Nicolas de Ferrari deposed on December 15th 1654 in the High Court of Admiralty. He gave evidence in the claim of Doctor ffrancisco Benzi in the Prince and the Grimani.[2]
