The Rise and Decline of the Medici Bank, 1397-1494

Drawing from then newly discovered Florentine accounts, this history offers a definitive interpretation of the most famous Italian Renaissance bank, the Medici Bank. Set against the background of Renaissance banking, it tracks the bank's trajectory as it passed from competent to disastrous managers.
