T H E G U I LD · 2 7 ers, the overwhelming majority of medical practitioners were matric ulated as doctors and therefore operated lawfully and within the offi cially constituted profession. 37 As table 1-1 shows, the proportion of unmatriculated doctors who had settled in Florence long enough (often only a few months) to appear in the communal tax records was small in relation to the profes sion as a whole. Even at its largest, in the decades immediately after the plague of 1348, this group was relatively small, and by the end of the fourteenth century it had, in effect, disappeared.
41 Debts between doctors and apothecaries usually represented more commercial arrangements, and such arrangements were common, given the mutual dependence of the two occupations. Doctors, according to their tax declarations and their diaries, invested in the drug and spice trade more frequently than in any other kind of business. Sometimes, like Maestro Paolo and Maestro Piero di maestro Domenico Toscanelli, they owned a company outright. Sometimes, like Maestro Iacopo di Coluccino da Lucca, they acted as freelance commercial middlemen, importing substances like pepper or saffron and wholesaling them to local shops.
8 The statute of 1349 defined both the corporate nature of Florence's medical profession (the guild's branch of doctors) and its relationship to the broader guild community. In some respects, doctors shared the general privileges and obligations of all members of the Guild of Doc tors, Apothecaries, and Grocers. They participated in its common cer emonial life, attending the religious observances and banquet associ ated with the feasts of Mary and St. 9 Like other members, they joined the guild by paying a matriculation fee and swearing an oath of obedience to the consuls, its chief officers.
