- This book is based on extensive and time-consuming research on insurance-related documents written in sixteenth-century vernacular in five different languages and in Latin and located in many archives scattered in various countries. In particular, the study of a great wealth of newly discovered sources required an unusually long time both for their complexity and because, when moved elsewhere in the past (in the 1610s and the 1780s), little attention was paid to their actual order. The analysis combined legal history and economic history, and produced the first (and only) comparative analysis of sixteenth-century insurance across Europe.
