Summary/Abstract: From the 1420’ onwards five members of the Manini family came gradually over to Hungary to work in the Hungarian royal financial administration, more precisely in the management of the royal salt chambers of Maramureș and Transylvania. The study provides a detailed overview on their Hungarian business activity, settlement and integration by marrying into the Transylvanian nobility. It also explores their financial and social background back in Florence based on the surviving Florentine, Hungarian and Transylvanian sources.
