Domenico Griminelli
Domenico Griminelli was a 17th-century Italian mathematician and Catholic priest from Correggio, Emilia-Romagna.[1]
He published in 1656[2] a tutorial book on arithmetic for shopkeepers and merchants,[1][3][4][5] Novissima prattica d'aritmetica mercantile ("Brand-new practice of mercantile arithmetic"), 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 General Treasurer of the Apostolic Camera.[10]
