Pacioli, Luca (1445-1517)
An Italian mathematician and Franciscan monk who wrote several influential books. His encyclopedic Summa de arithmetica, geometria, proportioni et proportionalita (1494) summarized what was known about contemporary arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry and gave a basis for the major progress in mathematics which took place in Europe shortly after. Divina proportione (1509), with drawings by none other than Leonardo da Vinci (surely no mathematical text was more impressively illustrated!), deals with the golden ratio , a subject that Paciola treats from an architectural standpoint in a second volume. At his death, he left unpublished a major book, De viribus amanuensis , on recreational problems, geometrical problems, and proverbs. This makes frequent reference to Leonardo, who assisted him with the project: many of the problems in this treatise are also in Leonardo's notebooks. Again it is a work for which Pacioli claimed no originality, describing it as a compendium.

29. Luca Pacioli: The Father Of Accounting
The book was written by an Italian monk, luca pacioli (pronounced potCHEE-oh-lee). The first accounting book actually was one of five sections in pacioli s
http://acct.tamu.edu/smith/ethics/pacioli.htm
Luca Pacioli: The Father of Accounting* In 1994, accountants from around the world gathered in an Italian village called San Sepulcro to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the first book written on double-entry accounting. The book was written by an Italian monk, Luca Pacioli (pronounced pot-CHEE-oh-lee). The first accounting book actually was one of five sections in Pacioli's mathematics book titled "Everything about Arithmetic, Geometry, and Proportions." This section on accounting served as the world's only accounting textbook until well into the 16th century. A new english interpretation of Pacioli's treatise was published recently and can be ordered from the Pacioli Society, Albers School of Business and Economics, Seattle University, Seattle, WA 98122. (Phone: 206.296.5690 Fax: 206.296.2464). In addition, the Society has a 30-minute video of Pacioli's life. Because Pacioli was a Franciscan monk, he might be referred to simply as Brother Luca. While Brother Luca is often called the "Father of Accounting," he did not invent the system. Instead, he simply described a method used by merchants in Venice during the Italian Renaissance period. His system included most of the accounting cycle as we know it today. For example, he described the use journals and ledgers, and he warned that a person should not go to sleep at night until the debits equalled the credits! His ledger included assets (including receivables and inventories), liabilities, capital, income, and expense accounts. He demonstrated year-end closing entries and proposed that a trial balance be used to prove a balanced ledger. Also, his treatise alludes to a wide range of topics from accounting ethics to cost accounting.

Version for printing
Luca Pacioli 's father was Bartolomeo Pacioli, but Pacioli does not appear to have been brought up in his parents house. He lived as a child with the Befolci family in Sansepolcro which was the town of his birth. This town is very much in the centre of Italy about 60 km north of the city of Perugia. As far as Pacioli was concerned, perhaps the most important feature of this small commercial town was the fact that Piero della Francesca had a studio and workshop in there and della Francesca spent quite some time there despite frequent commissions in other towns Although we know little of Pacioli's early life, the conjecture that he may have received at least a part of his education in the studio of della Francesca in Sansepolcro must at least have a strong chance of being correct. One reason that this seems likely to be true is the extensive knowledge that Pacioli had of the work of Piero della Francesca and Pacioli's writings were very strongly influenced by those of Piero Pacioli moved away from Sansepolcro while he was still a young lad. He moved to Venice to enter the service of the wealthy merchant Antonio Rompiasi whose house was in the highly desirable Giudecca district of that city. One has to assume that Pacioli was already well educated in basic mathematics from studies in Sansepolcro and he certainly must have been well educated generally to have been chosen as a tutor to Rompiasi's three sons. However, Pacioli took the opportunity to continue his mathematical studies at a higher level while in Venice, studying mathematics under Domenico Bragadino. During this time Pacioli gained experience both in teaching, from his role as tutor, and also in business from his role helping with Rompiasi's affairs.

I would have liked to have heard the lecturer, leaving offfor a timethe doctoral tone he employed for teaching debits and credits, to look into the life of this forerunner of accountants and to talk to him about his work. But it is a safe bet that he himself did not know of the existence of one who was later to be called the Father of Accounting. The last World War (1940-1944 in Belgium) gave me some leisure, a physical infirmity in the right eye preventing me from serving my country by bearing arms. I took advantage of this situation to study accounting and history in depth, and finally, the history o accounting. It was then that I made acquaintance with this venerable ancestor of ours.

    Luca Pacioli's Polyhedra
    Luca Pacioli (1445 - 1514, sometimes "Paciolo") is the central figure in this painting (by Jacopo de Barbari*, 1495). Perhaps no other work so epitomizes the deep Renaissance connection between art and mathematics. Pacioli (a Franciscan friar, shown in his robes) stands at a table filled with geometrical tools (slate, chalk, compass, dodecahedron model, etc.), illustrating a theorem from Euclid, while examining a beautiful glass rhombicuboctahedron half-filled with water. Every aspect of the picture has been composed meaningfully, and art historians have analyzed it at length, yet the figure at right remains a mystery. For two rather different conclusions, see the references by M. Davis (who suspects the figure is a self-portrait of the painter) and N. MacKinnon (who proposes that the figure is Albrecht Durer -compare Durer's 1498 self-portrait The polyhedron in the painting is a masterpiece of reflection, refraction, and perspective. (Davis states that the bright region on its surface reflects a view out an open window, showing the Palazzo Ducale in Urbino.) Certainly an actual glass polyhedron was used as a model. (Pacioli states in his books that he constructed several sets of glass polyhedra, but I know of no other information about them.) The polyhedron in the painting is beautifully positioned, suspended with a 3-fold axis vertical, out of physical contact with the other objects in the scene. I suspect that Pacioli chose it for the portrait because he discovered this form and was quite proud of it. (Presumably Archimedes first discovered it, but that wasn't known in Pacioli's time.) The painting is the earliest known image of the
