The bundled texts cover different periods, from the Middle Ages, the Early Modern Period, to the nineteenth century. They analyse the historical development of basic features of present-day corporations and of other company types, among them the general and limited partnership. These features include limited liability and legal personality. A detailed overview is offered of how legal concepts and mercantile practice interacted, leading up to the corporate characteristics that are so important today. Contributors are: Anja Amend-Traut, Luisa Brunori, Dave De ruysscher, Stefania Gialdroni, Ulla Kypta, Bart Lambert, Annamaria Monti, Carlos Petit, and Bram Van Hofstraeten. 410 0$aLegal history library ;$vVolume 23. 410 0$aLegal history library.$pStudies in the history of private law ;$vVolume 12. 606 $aCommercial law$zEurope$xHistory 615 0$aCommercial law$xHistory. 676 $a346.40709/03 702 $aRuysscher$b Dave de 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796047303321 996 $aThe company in law and practice$93807963 997 $aUNINA
