On 9 January 1632, at the inauguration of the Amsterdam Illustrious
School - the predecessor of the city's university - Caspar Barlaeus
delivered a speech that has continued to arouse the curiosity of
researchers and the general public alike: Mercator sapiens. This
famous oration on the wise merchant is now considered a key text of
the Dutch Golden Age. At the same time it is surrounded by
misunderstandings regarding Barlaeus himself, the nascent
Illustrious School and Amsterdam's merchant culture. This volume
presents the first English translation and the first critical
edition of the Mercator sapiens, preceded by an introduction
providing historical context and a fresh interpretation of this
intriguing text.
