Star (unit)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Star was a grain measure and had different sizes. It was an Italian and Swiss measure. It was true in Bolzano , but also in Trieste , Fiume and Carniola , as well as in Venice and its colonial empire .

  • The Venetian Star (also staio) had about 83.3 liters and claimed validity between Milan and Cyprus.
  • The Bozener Star (also starium, stark, strengl, stære, ster, steär, stajo) had 30.7497 liters (37.701 liters = 0.61298 Wiener Metzen), which is 2 Wiener Metzen or 1550.17 Parisian cubic inches (1900.6 Pariser Cubic inches).
  • The Tiroler Kornstar had 30.5775 liters, i.e. 1541.49 Parisian cubic inches.
  • Comparison: The Bozner to the Tyrolean was 1.00000 = 1.00563 (1.0049)

The amount of Bozener Star as sowing determined the size of the arable and surface area with the name Starland . The old measure corresponded to 100 quarter rods or 1 ¼ grave for a Bolzano star.

In Canton Ticino of Switzerland the measure as a star or Stara was known. Regional applied in Lavis

  • 1 star = 1002 ⅔ Parisian cubic inches

In other places there was the big one with 1483.5 Paris cubic inches and the small Star with 1322 ¼ Paris cubic inches.

Ragusa

  • Star (venetian.) / Stajo = 2 ½ Ceffertali = 5 Poluzzachi = 15 Quartarielli = 45 Ocche.

The Stajo was divided into 75 tenths or Decimen ( Zadar and Spalato ) for the collection of customs duties . 10 decimes were called Varichiaco. 1 Stajo thus had 7 ½ Varichiaco. Unofficially, however, 8 Varichiaco were expected.
