DESCRIPTION:‘The ledgers of Filippo Borromei e compagni of Bru
 ges ( for the year 1436) and Filippo Borromei e co
 mpagni of London (1436-9) make it possible to see 
 how an Italian bank participated in both the inter
 national exchange and local credit markets in nort
 h-western Europe in the first half of the fifteent
 h century. The findings of the Borromei Bank Resea
 rch Project at Queen Mary\, University of London\,
  suggest that long-held theories about imbalances 
 in trade and payments between northern and souther
 n Europe in the later middle ages need to be re-ex
 amined\, given the bank’s ability to settle intern
 ational payments by book rather than bullion trans
 fers.’\n
