Why Double Entry Bookeeping Matters
The Athenians accused the ten treasurers of the Delian League of embezzlement. Each in turn was tried, found guilty and executed until only one was left. At that point the missing money was found to be an accounting error.
I’ve been involved in medieval recreation since 1975. I contributed to a manual for living history that later grew into the book Daily Life in Chaucer’s England, and have written and illustrated several articles on the medieval tournament.
This blog is mostly a platform for my other writing about the Middle Ages, and whatever else moves me: other history, movies, SF, space exploration, contemporary politics and economics. You can find my livejournal feed at Willscommonplac
