Summary
"Il Livero de l'abbecho" and the "Primo amastramento de l'arte de la geometria," preserved in MS. Riccardiano 2404, are basically ancient translations of Fibonacci's Liber abaci (1226), written down at the dawn of the XIV century in the dialect of Perugia. The translation reflects the effort (and the problems) of transferring the words and the techniques discussed in the grand book of Fibonacci into a vernacular language [and] represents the actual foundation of a practical (thus vernacular) mathematics primarily devoted to resolving problems in managing a commercial firm and its bookkeeping. The book includes an introduction to the codicological and paleographical situation of the Livero, the conventions adopted in the manuscript, and the textual choices operated. In the second volume a detailed linguistic analysis is proposed--Excerpted from abstract, volume 1, page 521.
