      produced in facsimile by the Scholar Press & the Yushodo Press, London &, 1549 & 1593. Two volumes in one. Thick folio on fine paper. Cream cloth & grey boards. A superb facsimile. One of only 125 copies issued as part of a highly important set along with 49 similar works. [ Never before sold separately-only previously sold as part of complete sets to major world libraries ]. * the texts in the series HISTORIC ACCOUNTING LITERATURE expound and develop the art of book-keeping in the 350 years after Pacioli's seminal Summa de Arithmetica. They show how patterns and conventions were established, and how the following generations built on them in turn. As this body of knowledge accumulated, it became the framework for commercial dealings. Most of these works were intended for the instruction of students and apprentices, or for the use of book-keepers and merchants. The original copies are in the library of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in London, whose holdings in the fields of book-keeping and accountancy are the finest in the world. Most are of the utmost rarity & extremely fragile. Probably the only opportunity to acquire this text, whose original has not been offered for sale for many years, and probably never will be again. Mint condition.
