The Divine Comedy mainly connotes a negative accountant stereotype. The 14th century&#39;s Florentine gentlemen (&ldquo;i galantuomini&rdquo;) are apparently positive characters, with an ordered and clean aspect, but they are accused of being usurers. Dante Alighieri pictures the accountant as a &ldquo;servant of capitalism&rdquo;, &ldquo;dishonest person, excessively fixated with money&rdquo;, &ldquo;villain and evil&rdquo; and &ldquo;excessively rational&rdquo;. Giovanni Boccaccio mainly portrays a positive accountant stereotype. The accountant is increasingly more reliable, and this &ldquo;commercial man&rdquo; takes a more prestigious role in the society. In The Decameron, the accountant is depicted as a &ldquo;hero&rdquo;, &ldquo;gentleman&rdquo;, &ldquo;family-oriented person with a high level of work commitment&rdquo; and &ldquo;colourful persona, warm, and emotional&rdquo;.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 10px 0px; border: 0px none; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; outline: 0px; vertical-align: top; color: rgb(62, 69, 76); font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px none; background: transparent; font-weight: inherit; outline: 0px; vertical-align: top;\"><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px none; background: transparent; font-weight: inherit; outline: 0px; vertical-align: top; font-family: &quot;comic sans ms&quot;, cursive;\"><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px none; background: transparent; font-weight: inherit; outline: 0px; vertical-align: top; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87);\">This study engages with accounting history literature accountants&#39; stereotypes in an unexplored context and time period, providing a base for comparative international research on accounting stereotypes and popular culture. Additionally, it addresses the need for further research on the accountant stereotype based on literary works and from a historical perspective. Therefore, this research also expands the New Accounting History (NAH) literature, focussing on the investigation of the accountant stereotype connotations in the 14th century.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 10px 0px; border: 0px none; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; outline: 0px; vertical-align: top; color: rgb(62, 69, 76); font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px none; background: transparent; font-weight: inherit; outline: 0px; vertical-align: top; font-family: &quot;comic sans ms&quot;, cursive;\">Please find the full paper here:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.emerald.com\/insight\/content\/doi\/10.1108\/AAAJ-01-2020-4386\/full\/html%C2%A0\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px none; background: transparent; font-weight: inherit; vertical-align: top; text-decoration-line: none; color: rgb(255, 104, 13); transition: color 0.4s ease 0s, background-color 0.4s ease 0s; outline: none !important;\">https:\/\/www.emerald.com\/insight\/content\/doi\/10.1108\/AAAJ-01-2020-4386\/fu&#8230;<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 10px 0px; border: 0px none; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; outline: 0px; vertical-align: top; color: rgb(62, 69, 76); font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 10px 0px; border: 0px none; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; outline: 0px; vertical-align: top; color: rgb(62, 69, 76); font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px none; background: transparent; font-weight: inherit; outline: 0px; vertical-align: top; font-family: &quot;comic sans ms&quot;, cursive;\">Matteo Molinari (<\/span><a href=\"mailto:matteo.molinari@unisi.it\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px none; background: transparent; font-weight: inherit; vertical-align: top; text-decoration-line: none; color: rgb(255, 104, 13); transition: color 0.4s ease 0s, background-color 0.4s ease 0s; font-family: &quot;comic sans ms&quot;, cursive; outline: none !important;\">matteo.molinari@unisi.it<\/a><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px none; background: transparent; font-weight: inherit; outline: 0px; vertical-align: top; font-family: &quot;comic sans ms&quot;, cursive;\">), University of Siena &#8211; Italy&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy to share an article developed with Jonida Carungu and published in Accounting, Auditing and Accountability Journal!&nbsp; Our paper&nbsp;explores the stereotype of the accountant in Florentine medieval popular culture based on literary works and from a historical perspective.
