Description

Based on careful study of relevant documents, including a collection of libri segreti (confidential books) discovered in 1950, Professor de Roover has reconstructed the details of the organization and operating methods of the bank. He examines its lending policies, which reflect the Church's teachings on usury, its commercial and industrial investments, its roles within the system of French guilds, and its tax structure, as well as its activities as the financial representative of the Church.

It covers every aspect of the bank's history, from its early years under the leadership of Giovanni di Bicci de' Medici to its collapse with the expulsion of the Medici from Florence.
