This dataset consists of three cases of wet nurse mediation in late medieval Prato. It presents excerpts from the private letter correspondence of the merchant couple Margherita and Francesco Datini dealing with (potential) work arrangements for wet nurses. The dataset relies mainly on the editions and translations made by Valeria Rosati (1977) and Carolyn James/Antonio Pagliaro (2012), extended by selected transcriptions and translations as well as an interactive map from the authors of the related data story.
