Lombard - Lombardy (English spelling)

Japanese: ロンバルディア人 - ロンバルディアじん(英語表記)Lombardo
Lombard - Lombardy (English spelling)
They are also called Lombards. This term refers to people from the Lombardy region of northern Italy, but in Western Europe from the 12th century onwards, it was used to refer to merchants and financiers from northern Italy. Like the Cahors people from the small city of Cahors in southern France, they were considered synonymous with usury. The German word Lombardgeschäft, which refers to loans secured by movable property, is a vestige of this. Some were from Lombardy, such as Piacenza and Milan, but it is said that most were from Piedmont, such as Asti, and Tuscany, such as Siena, Lucca and Florence.

Japanese:
ロンバルド人ともいう。この語は北イタリア,ロンバルディア地方の人を指すものであるが,12世紀以降の西ヨーロッパでは北イタリア出身の商人,金融業者をこのように呼んだ。南フランスの小都市カオールCahorsの出身者(カオール人)と同じく高利貸の代名詞と考えられていた。ドイツ語で動産を抵当とする貸付けをLombardgeschäftと呼ぶのはそのなごりである。ピアチェンツァ,ミラノなどロンバルディア出身者もいたが,アスティなどのピエモンテ,シエナ,ルッカ,フィレンツェなどのトスカナ出身者が多かったといわれている。
