Rare first edition of one of the most important early works on mercantile accountancy, arithmetic and exchange rates. Money and the relative values of currency came to be central to early-modern European economy, as successful merchants learned to exploit differences in values and time lapses at a time when money-lending was frowned upon as usury. Three further editions came out within forty years, all printed in Venice, and all now scarce. Herwood, Historical Accounting Literature, 224; Kress S.343; Riccardi II, 15.1 (‘raro’); this edition not in Goldsmiths’ or Einaudi.
Small 4to (200 x 140mm). Woodcut device on title, woodcut initials, head- and tail-pieces in text (very occasional spots, some marginal soiling.) Contemporary vellum (recased, head of spine repaired, some light soiling). Provenance: erased ink ownership inscription dated Naples 1619 (ffep).
