This ''Mémoire'' and the three remaining additions are written in Fiume (in September 1759) by Balthazar Proli (1722 - 1804), brother of Charles Proli. These documents form a report on how to expand the activities of the ''Compagnie Priviligiée de Trieste et Fiume'' in e.g. the trade of lumber. This company was founded by Charles Proli and received the imperial patent on October 1st 1750. It existed until 1828. Provenance; from the archives of Charles de Proli ; photostat of a typed letter from 23 May 1945 refers to Theophile Smekens who was still occupied with Proli's bancruptcy in the late 19th c. ( see Denucé, Antwerps Archievenblad 2e reeks, 7 , 1932 nr.1). On this history of Proli's business initiatives see at length '' Charles Proli , Antwerps zakenman en bankier 1723 - 1786.'' Study by H. Houtman-De Smedt - published by the Brussels' Academy in 1983. The history of the company in Trieste and Fiume is described on pp. 69-87 . The presence of Charles' brother Baltazar in Fiume is not recorded in this study. We have other archive records relating to Charles Proli and the ''Société Impériale de Trieste pour le commerce Aziatique'' on offer. If you would be interested in acquiring several documents a more advantageous price will be applied. Please inquire via e-mail.…
