Specialist Notes

Important treatise on mercantile technology. There are the most varied news, from the formulas of correspondence, to the examples of double-entry entries, as the Peri spread, even in details that are typical of those who, while trading, intend to give a precise account of each action and teach the most logical and rationale to implement them, also with regard to the many questions that unfortunately were debated at the time in the juridical field, the famous controversy with Merenda regarding the legitimacy of the money trade reported in the volume I Frutti dal'Albaro.
