摘　　要：中世纪银行与教廷之间的关系异常密切,前者为后者提供多方面的服务。其中,最基本的服务包括如下四种,即征收税金,接收和转移税款,兑换货币以及提供贷款。对于教廷而言,它之所以离不开意大利银行家的服务,与教廷国际化的金融体系关联甚大。银行家则出于赢利的目的为教廷提供服务;但是,同时,还有一点也应该纳入我们的考察范围,即银行家利用教廷的权威以确保和促进其银行业务。银行与教廷之间如此密切的联系,极大地影响到银行自身的发展:中世纪银行的国际化特征以及银行三角平衡贸易的模式,即是这种影响的体现。Banks had an exceptionally close relationship with the Holy See during the Middle Ages and performed a full range of services for the Vatican.Of these,the most basic services included the four functions of tax collection,tax transfer,currency exchange,and the provision of loans.As the financial system of the Holy See was international,it could do nothing without the services of Italian bankers.The bankers 'willingness to provide these services was certainly based on the desire for profit;yet the fact that the bankers made use of the authority of the Holy See to ensure and promote their business should also be considered.The close relationship between banks and the Holy See would affect the banks'own development and lead to the internationalization of banking in the Middle Ages as well as the development of a triangular trade pattern.
