BROWNE (John)
THE MARCHANTS Avizo. Edited by Patrick McGrath. London: Baker Library, Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration, 1957.

xxxviii, 64 pp.; 275 mm.

Edition of a classic work from the end of the 16th century in which an experienced merchant sought to provide valuable information on how young traders should proceed in the complex markets of Portugal, Spain and France. This small manual presents some drafts of letters, methods for maintaining organized accounting, and showed some documents that young merchants would come across while carrying out their profession.

«The Marchants Avizo is thus of considerable interest, not only because it is one of the earliest books of its kind, but because it throws light on the formation of a young business man in the later sixteenth century.» [from the Introduction]

Good edition, enriched with extensive study on the subject. Rare.
