Before you is the first book that sets out the methodological foundations of accounting. It was written by Luca Pacioli, an outstanding scientist of the 15th century, a monk and mathematician.
The famous theoretical economist Werner Zombart (1863-1941) remarked that "double bookkeeping was born from the same spirit as the systems of Galileo and Newton. In it one can see the ideas of universal gravitation, blood circulation, and the conservation of energy." Indeed, all these great discoveries of human thought, along with double bookkeeping, are manifestations of that "Divine Proportion" about which Luca Pacioli spoke so vividly in his remarkable book For more than five centuries, "Treatise on Accounts and Records" influenced the development of accounting art and still has great importance. This edition includes a revised translation, an essay on the scholar's life and works, and, for the first time, a discussion of the treatise's ideas in relation to the principles of modern accounting.
