Description
[17th-century commerce]. A Guide to the Exchange Trade, or a Report on how, throughout Christendom—particularly in Holland, England, Brabant, France, Italy, Castile, Portugal and Germany—currencies are exchanged from one place to another, and how to convert and calculate them… An excellent commercial manual offering a practical approach to the exchange rates in force at the time. Frankfurt am Main, Johann Peter Zubrodts, 1669. Small quarto, brown half-maroquin with corner pieces, spine with raised bands highlighted by blind-stamped roulettes, gilt title, green edges. In German. Three small holes in the upper margin of the title page, without affecting the text; foxing. A practical handbook on trade and currencies in Europe (the Netherlands, England, France, Italy, Portugal...). The final section contains a summary table of conversion rates between local currencies and the currency in circulation in Frankfurt, a major European financial centre in the 17th century. A fine copy in a sturdy later binding.
