Second edition of the first printed book on algebra which included the first description of double entry bookkeeping. This is a close copy of Paganino's 1494 edition, which was printed in Venice. Pacioli, a professor in Perugia, drew on the work of Fibonacci and Piero della Francesca, as well as other mathematical works in circulation; this Summa is a compilation of mathematical tracts rather than a treatise containing original material but it was widely influential.
