“The Church’s ban against usury was presumably taken more seriously in France than in Italy.” — The Rise and Declined of the Medici Bank. Prayers answered, the book was already 5 stars without discussing Papal banking .

Extremely entertaining book. Their libri segreto were as advanced as most modern companies if not better. Hoping book will talk about the experience of being the Pope’s banker.

Chapter II, The Medici Bank and its Economic Background introduces the reader to key concepts utilized throughout the study, such as the gild system.

Among other topics, it discusses how in Florence during the reign of Walter of Brienne in 1343, the government debt became so large that it was consolidated into a rolling public debt known as the monte comune, or public fund. Have a great day everyone!

I just finished the introduction to Raymond de Roover's remarkable study that was originally published in 1963 and is an expanded edition of an earlier study he had written in 1948.

The writing is very clear and easy to follow, and the first chapter provides historical background on the Medici of Florence and other successful banking clans active during the period. Have a wonderful day everyone!

至於威尼斯的潘多爾福．孔塔里尼則沒有約定預定利率，但因為那時把錢投資在米蘭分行而得到一份公平合理的獲利分配金額。也許這個存款人對於接受利息稍微有點過於拘謹，因此這些利息被說成是一筆投入資本的獲利：換個名字，魔鬼就變成天使。

梅迪奇銀行的現存紀錄自一四六○年起出現較大的空缺；沒有佛羅倫斯錢莊相關的帳目和商業通信可供利用。因此，不得不依靠行會的紀錄，它們給出事實性資訊，但無助於說明商業問題。歷史學家與小說家不同，歷史學家需要文獻證據作為依據。若缺乏證據，就沒有發言權。

除了商業公司以外，佛羅倫斯錢莊的客戶還有社會各階層的人，從樞機主教、王公貴族到不一定屬於富裕階層的佛羅倫斯普通市民。註312在中世紀時，擁有銀行帳戶要比經濟史學家認為的還要普遍。
