Particularis de Computis Et Scripturis

A new English interpretation of Fra Luca Pacioli's (the Father of Accounting) treatise on accounting, commemorating the 500th anniversary of its original publication in Venice in 1494. His PARTICULARIS was the first codification of double-entry accounting & a guide for merchants on sound accounting & business practice: "If you are in business & do not know all about your money, it will go like flies, that is, you will lose it."--(Luca Pacioli) Originally written not in Latin, but in vernacular Italian, it was a tremendous success, & earned Pacioli his place in history. "...the name Pacioli is linked with famous artists, writers, & political figures of his day"--(THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, January 29, 1993). This very readable translation by Dr. Jeremy Cripps brings Pacioli's material to life, & captures the enduring nature of the underlying principles of accounting & business. To order: for U.S. orders, send $45.00 check or money order (includes shipping & handling); for foreign orders send $60.00 (in U.S. dollars). Will accept purchase orders from U.S. institutions.
