Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Fra Luca Bartolomeo de Pacioli (sometimes Paciolo) (1446/7, Sansepolcro - 1517) was an Italian mathematician and Franciscan friar, collaborator with Leonardo da Vinci, and seminal contributor to the field now known as accounting, for which he is often regarded as the "Father of Accounting". He was also called Luca di Borgo after his birthplace, Borgo Santo Sepolcro, Tuscany. Luca Pacioli was born in 1446 or 1447 in Borgo San Sepolcro, a small Tuscan town and died at the age of 70 on 19th June 1517, possibly also in San Sepolcro. He was the son of Bartholomeus Pacioli, to a middle class family. One of his teachers may have been the painter Piero della Francesca, who, typically for Italian Humanism, masterfully connected mathematics, science and art. In 1464 Luca Pacioli became employed by a Venetian merchant, Ser Antonio de Rompiasi who lived in the Guideca, the Jewish Quarter of the city. Together with Rompiasi's three sons, Pacioli attended the lectures of the mathematician Domenico Bragadino in the Scuolo di Rialto, a school of great importance for the history of Aristotelianism. There is no evidence that he worked as Rompiasi's bookkeeper but, he published a treatise on bookkeeping in 1494 that, at the very least, supports this hypothesis. He did undertake voyages on behalf of his master, In 1470 Pacioli stayed in Rome at the house of the famous architect, philosopher and mathematician Leon Battista Alberti. This move to Rome may have been suggested by his teacher Piero, who had worked together with Alberti in the church of Sail Francesco in Rimini during the fifties. Between 1472 and 1475, Pacioli became a Franciscan Minor under the name Frater Lucas de Borgo San Sepulcro. In 1475, he started teaching in Perugia and wrote a comprehensive textbook in the vernacular for his students during 1477 and 1478. It is thought that he then started teaching university mathematics and he did s...http://booksllc.net/?l=de ... Read more

From the author: What is accounting theory? And where is it? Accounting theory seems similar in some respects to generally accepted accounting principles--we know it exists, but no single source defines and enumerates it. Even in our doctoral programs, where one would expect accounting theory to be studied and promulgated, little evidence exists that accounting theory consists of anything more than a cursory review of current FASB issues or economic transactions and firm value. Based on our recent review of 88 accounting doctoral-granting institutions in the United States, we identify several different approaches to teaching accounting theory that have been or currently are used in accounting doctoral curricula.

Luca Pacioli at his best
This is a good, but hard to find book of the biography of Luca Pacioli, the father of accounting. The author makes Renaissance Italy come alive. The book describes Pacioli's life with great detail. The Franciscan monk introduces the double entry accounting system to the west via his travel with a merchant ship. No Royal Road also introduces the texts of Pacioli with the vaired style.

This is a good book. Anyone with an interest in accounting and Italian history should check it out.
