Geocache Description:



There is no cache nor parking at the coordinates given above. The cache coordinates are revealed below.

I am Luca Pacioli. I was an Italian mathematician, Franciscan friar, and a collaborator with Leonardo da Vinci, but I am best known as the father of accounting.

I am so pleased that many years after my seminal work on accounting, Summa de arithmetica, geometria, proportioni et proportionalità, was published other noteworthy bean counters (some expired, some retired, and some just moving on) have carried forth this most honorable profession, e.g., John Grisham, Bob Newhart, Kenny G., J.P. Morgan, Mr. MI15Team and even Mr. JBT.

In recognition of this fine tradition, I have placed a geocache at: N 40 48.xxx where xxx is the year I published my seminal work on accounting minus 1051 and W 77 54.yyy where yyy is the year of my death minus 1346.

Be aware that all log entries will be severely audited and any discrepancies will be referred to the Grand Inquisitor. Don't mess with me, I'm certified (or was it certifiable?).
