		Luca Pacioli's father was Bartolomeo Pacioli, but Pacioli does not appear to have been brought up in his parents house.
		Although we know little of Pacioli's early life, the conjecture that he may have received at least a part of his education in the studio of della Francesca in Sansepolcro must at least have a strong chance of being correct.
		Pacioli's edition was based on that of Campanus but it contained much in the way of annotation by Pacioli himself.

	History of Double Entry Bookkeeping
		His friend Leonardo da Vinci helped prepare the drawings for Pacioli's 1497 work, Divina Proportione; in turn, Pacioli is reputed to have calculated for da Vinci the quantity of bronze needed for the artist's huge statue of Duke Lidovico Sforza of Milan.
		Pacioli was about 50 years old in 1494 - just two years after Columbus discovered America - when he returned to Venice for the publication of his fifth book, Summa de Arithmetica, Geometria, Proportioni et Proportionalita (Everything About Arithmetic, Geometry and Proportion).
		Perhaps the best proof that Pacioli's work was considered potentially significant even at the time of publication was the very fact that it was printed on November 10, 1494.

		Luca Pacioli, however, was a great admirer of the Golden Section, as evidenced by the name of his treatise, Divina proportione, which actually comprises three independent works [Pacioli 1509].
		Pacioli understands the Vitruvian figure of the man in circle and square with Filarete in the sense that the geometrical figures have their origin in the human body (ch.
		Pacioli's role in architectural theory has been overestimated for a long time.[17] He presents himself as mathematician, who certainly deals with Vitruvius, but who does not develop his own propositions on how to design a building.

	Luca Pacioli's Polyhedra
		(Pacioli states in his books that he constructed several sets of glass polyhedra, but I know of no other information about them.) The polyhedron in the painting is beautifully positioned, suspended with a 3-fold axis vertical, out of physical contact with the other objects in the scene.
		I suspect that Pacioli chose it for the portrait because he discovered this form and was quite proud of it.
		There is an entry in the accounts for the building of the Council Hall in Florence which indicates that a set of Pacioli's wooden models was purchased by the City of Florence for public display.
