Bringing together some of the most distinguished scholars in the
field, this volume looks at the comparative development of legal
practice in the early modern period across Europe. Focusing
deliberately on the impact of law courts on substantive law and not
on its systematisation by learned jurists it studies similarities
and differences in the development of the law across different
jurisdictions. In doing so it evaluates whether and to what extent
it is possible to consider this development as a unitary and truly
European phenomenon. This collection re-evaluates current debates
surrounding the development of civil law in the early modern period
in the context of the grand narratives of European legal history
and sets out to challenge current orthodox views about early modern
civil law.

English insurance came into being almost entirely during the
Elizabethan period. However, the Great Fire of 1666 consumed most
of London's mercantile document, and therefore little is known
about early English insurance. Using new archival material, this
study provides the first in-depth analysis of early English
insurance. It focuses on a crucial yet little-known text, the
London Insurance Code of the early 1580s, and shows how London
insurance customs were first imported from Italy, then influenced
by the Dutch, and finally shaped in a systematic fashion in that
Insurance Code. The London Insurance Code was in turn heavily
influenced by coeval continental codes. This deep influence attests
the strong links between English and European insurance, and
questions the common/civil law divide on the history of commercial
law.
