Dialogue concerning the Exchequer
- Dialogue concerning the Exchequer
The "Dialogue concerning the Exchequer" or "Dialogus de Scaccario" was a Medieval treatise on the practice of the English Exchequer. It was in 1177-1179 written and revised in the decade after by Richard FitzNigel, Henry II's treasurer.
It is a singular source for our knowledge about the English high-medieval financial administration, describing the work of the exchequer and his clerks in an extremely detailed way (e.g. the use of the abacus, of the tallies, the Pipe Rolls etc.)
