This open access book explores the history of risk management in medieval and early modern European maritime business, focusing particularly on 'General Average' - a mechanism by which extraordinary expenses regarding ship or cargo, incurred during a voyage to save the venture, are shared between all participants to protect equity. This volume traces the history of this risk management tool from its origins in the pre-Roman Mediterranean through to its use in the shipping sector today. Contributions range from the Islamic Mediterranean to the Low Countries, and taken together, provide a wide-ranging analysis of social, cultural, and political aspects of pre-modern maritime commerce in Europe. 606 $aEurope$xHistory$x476-1492 606 $aEurope$xHistory$x1492- 606 $aLaw$xHistory 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aHistory of Medieval Europe 606 $aHistory of Early Modern Europe 606 $aLegal History 606 $aEconomic History 615 0$aEurope$xHistory$x476-1492. 615 0$aEurope$xHistory$x1492-. 615 0$aLaw$xHistory. 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 14$aHistory of Medieval Europe. 615 24$aHistory of Early Modern Europe. 615 24$aLegal History. 615 24$aEconomic History. 676 $a387.50940902 700 $aFusaro$b Maria$0324790 701 $aAddobbati$b Andrea$01022461 701 $aPiccinno$b Luisa$0456152 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910637756703321 996 $aGeneral Average and Risk Management in Medieval and Early Modern Maritime Business$93058695 997 $aUNINA
