A good book in spanish??

What about "Confusion de Confusiones" by Jose de la Vega, Amsterdam, 1688 (Yes, that's 1688!).

Probably one of the oldest book about trading.

I know only a German translation, much edited.

The original will be hard to read since it is beefed up - as was the fashion then - with many hints and excursions into Greek mythology.

Nevertheless very interesting reading.

Bernd,

That's a riot! Do you have a link where I can purchase that in the original spanish?

Sorry, no. But be sure to look for a reprint. In the preface to the German Edition the editor mentions 5000 British Pounds for an original - in 1984 .

Have Fun
