Brill has just published the e-book of “Understanding
the Sources of Early Modern and Modern Commercial Law” in its Studies in the
History of Private Law series. The hardback is due to be published later this
month.
ABOUT
The contributions of Understanding the
Sources of Early Modern and Modern Commercial Law: Courts, Statutes, Contracts,
and Legal Scholarship show the wealth of sources which historians of commercial
law use to approach their subject. Depending on the subject, historical
research on mercantile law must be ready to open up to different approaches and
sources in a truly imaginative and interdisciplinary way. This, more than many
other branches of law, has always been largely non-state law. Normative,
‘official’, sources are important in commercial law as well, but other sources
are often needed to complement them. The articles of the volume present an
excellent assemblage of those sources. Anja Amend-Traut, Albrecht Cordes, Serge
Dauchy, Dave De ruysscher, Olivier Descamps, Ricardo Galliano Court, Eberhard
Isenmann, Mia Korpiola, Peter Oestmann, Heikki Pihlajamäki, Edouard Richard,
Margrit Schulte Beerbühl, Guido Rossi, Bram Van Hofstraeten, Boudewijn Sirks,
Alain Wijffels, and Justyna Wubs-Mrozewicz.
