Glossary of mediaeval Terms of Business. Italian Series 1200-1600. First edition of a useful glossary containing "classified lists relating to weights, measures, business instruments, industrial terms, etc.; appendices on business and industrial terms and practices as found in in the Medici documents of the 15th and 16th centuries - partnerships, methods of bookkeeping, credit, discount, textile industry practices, etc. A fine example of a scholarly work that shows insight into and familiarity with both business and its setting in the period concerned." (Larson)."The guiding principle throughout the compilation of this present work has therefore been to produce a glossary (and not a dictionary) of the exact and peculiar usage of such business terms as the economic historian and the student of social and cultural history is likely to meet in using Italian sources, both those already familiar and those as yet unexplored" (Introduction, p. x).
