Born in Belgium in 1904, he graduated from the Institut Supérieur de Commerce in Antwerp in 1924. He completed his military training and worked in a bank, before joining the Agence Maritime Internationale, one of the world’s largest steamship operators, where he remained until 1936. During this time he developed an interest in the history of economics and accounting, working in the archives of Antwerp and Bruges in his spare time. His first book, Jan Ympyn, on the first Flemish accounting treaty, was published in 1928.
He received his Master in Business Administration from Harvard University in 1938 and went on to teach at Harvard University, University of Chicago, Boston College, and Brooklyn College in The City University of New York, in addition to various European universities. He was also a Guggenheim Fellow in 1949.
His published works include Money, Banking and Credit in Medieval Bruges (1948); The Rise and Decline of the Medici Bank, 1397-1494 (1963); and Business, Banking, and Economic Thought in Late Medieval and Early Modern Europe (1974).
