Rise and Decline of the Medici Bank, 1397-1494
This is a great description of the origins of commerce and banking as we know them. The Medici Bank was headquartered in Florence, Italy, and had branches all over Europe. It has interesting implications for banking centralization and decentralization and I used it as required reading when I used to take student groups to Italy. It is well-referenced and fairly readable for those of us interested in the topic.
