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]
