Chapter 12 in Marine Insurance, 2016, pp 270-297 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Two sequences of commercial centres existed in late medieval Europe. One comprised international financial centres such as Venice, to which people came from many places to transact financial business. The other included places such as Florence, from which merchants and bankers spread out and transacted business in many other places, but where most commerce was local, and most of the participants were natives.1
