Primes

• Compression

  • This sourceEncyclopedic mathematics work whose 27-page section first printed double-entry bookkeeping. Pre-internet primary source; link is an archive.org scan. NOTE: publisher more commonly rendered 'Paganino de Paganini' (the prime's 'Paganinus de Paganinis' is the Latinized form).

• Data Integrity
  • Pacioli's system has provided data integrity for mercantile finance for 500+ years and remains the foundation of every modern accounting system

    This sourcePaganino Paganini, Venice. First printed, systematic description of double-entry bookkeeping: every transaction recorded as equal debit and credit, with the debits=credits invariant detecting single-sided errors via the trial balance; corrections made by offsetting entries (append-only, attributable audit trail).

    Supported in partVerified against the work's full text

    The Summa's own description of its bookkeeping treatise covers merchants' ledger and journal with debit and credit entries; it cannot speak to 500 years or modern accounting.

    Read by an automated reader; not a human review. How support was checked

• Discrete vs. Continuous (Quantization)

  • This sourceContains the first printed account of double-entry bookkeeping over discrete currency-denominated amounts.

• Immutability
  • The audit trail is therefore an append-only sequence in which every adjustment is itself a visible, dated, attributable record.

    This sourcePaganino Paganini. First printed description of double-entry bookkeeping (the Particularis de computis et scripturis section): a posted journal entry is not erased or overwritten but corrected by recording a new offsetting/reversing entry, yielding an append-only, attributable audit trail.

• Logging
  • In finance it is double-entry bookkeeping and the general ledger — the canonical pre-digital log, with append-only discipline once enforced by numbered, bound pages and now by cryptographic chains.

    This sourceThe first printed exposition of double-entry bookkeeping, with the bound, ordered, append-only ledger (the quaderno) as the canonical pre-digital event log.

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 9 citations: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
