Jaruga, Lodz University Poland: Foundation for Accountancy Development in Poland. This sixty page booklet is a result of studies undertaken by Anna Szychta as a reply by Polish scientific accounting circles to the idea aroused in the sixties to create a complete chronological documentation of the oldest accounting related books published on the Polish territory before 1900. This ambitious goal was later extended to include also in the work Polish publications published abroad, and in addition to it a list of the oldest manuals on bookkeeping edited beyond Poland and stored presently in the Polish Academy of Science Gdansk Library. As a consequence, Anna Szychta's book consists mainly of three distinct parts of which the first contains "the works referring to merchant bookkeeping and business, arithmetic published in Gdansk and other Polish towns in the period of the sixteenth nineteenth century". Chronologically arranged Part 1 is opened by the earliest known arithmetic manual in Polish written by Tomasz Klos in 1538 designed to teach numbers and calculations with them as well as to give a set of examples based on Cracow and NurnbergPreview Only.
