[291] The livre Parisis was the equivalent of twenty sols or
twenty-five francs. The sol equalled twelve deniers or one franc,
or twenty cents. The denier was of the value of one and three-
fifths cents. In considering these “equivalents,” due allowance
must of course be made for the very much larger purchasing
power possessed by money in the fourteenth century than in the
nineteenth. De Wailly, cited by Delalain, xxix., xl.
