They certainly spent a lot of time together, and definitely Luca Pacioli was there in the church when Leonardo da Vinci was there in the actual church when Leonardo da Vinci was painting The Last Supper," said Gleeson-White.

One of the first readers was Leonardo da Vinci, who at the time was painting The Last Supper. Thanks to the newly invented printing press, his book was mass produced and became a big hit.

In the 1400s, much of Europe was still using Roman numerals, and finding it really hard to easily add or subtract. The story of the birth of accounting begins with numbers.
