Abstract

The aim of this essay is to highlight the fast dissemination of mercantile arithmetic throughout Western Europe in the Late Middle Ages. The manuals of the new discipline had to prepare men capable of addressing the challenges and transformations that trade and banking demanded. Training was the cause of professional success. Reading, writing and calculation skills were essential.
