Excerpt:
In this section we should again mention the names of Mark Antun Dominis and Rugjer Boskovic, whose work was veritably encyclopaedistic.
The first known manual about book-keeping was "Della mercatura e del mercante perfetto," written by Benko Kotruljic (born in Dubrovnik, 15th century). Its French translation appeared under the title "Parfait négociant" in Lyon in 1613.
