Luca Pacioli, Italian mathematician, (1445
?-1517
?), is credited with the first publication of the 'Venetian method' of keeping accounts, now known as 'double-entry bookkeeping'.
For this reason, some regard him as the founder of the field of
accountancy.
He was a close friend of Leonardo da Vinci.
