Tito Antoni and the Internationalization of Accounting History Scholarship

Tito Antoni (1915-2000) can be considered the real pioneer of the internationalization of Italian accounting historical studies. Antoni was one of the first Italian scholars to pre- sent his own papers in international fora. In 1973, he presented a paper at the First Interna- tional Congress of Mediterranean History on the subject of Majorcan ledgers concerning the “Lou dels Pizans” (the arbitration award of the Pisan Republic), in the thirteenth century.
