Reviews / Votes
"This is a 'must read' for all those who, one way or another, have 'stumbled' in the revival of insurance studies which took place after the 2008 crisis. The unifying idea of the book is to assess the impact of institutions, legal norms, and informal customs on marine insurance from the late Middle Ages to the early nineteenth centuries." (Giovanni Ceccarelli, The International Journal of Maritime History, Vol. 28 (4), 2016)More details
