Domenico Griminelli

Domenico Griminelli (17th century) was an Italian mathematician and a Catholic presbyter. He published in 1656[1] a tutorial book on arithmetic for shopkeepers and merchants,[2][3][4][5] Novissima prattica d'aritmetica mercantile, also known outside Italy[6][7][8] and reprinted for two centuries.[9] The book's introduction echoed Plato in declaring numbers to be a divine gift, without which civilization would vanish, and dedicated the work to cardinal Girolamo Gastaldi, the Treasurer General of the Apostolic Chamber.[10]

Novissima prattica d'aritmetica mercantile, 1670

Griminelli was born in Correggio, Emilia-Romagna.[2]

gollark: Probably, though?
gollark: That would kind of defeat the point.
gollark: I'm not sure how else you could do it, really, since the situation with cryptocurrencies is that you need some way to deterministically, mathematically, decentrally verify that the money actually does belong to a specific person.
