Abstract: Francesca Trivellato's analysis begins with the first chapter of Étienne Cleirac's Us et coustumes de la mer (1647), focusing on insurance and bills of exchange. The difficulties of integrating these two instruments of commercial law into the framework set out in Romanist legal sources led Cleirac to attribute their invention to Jews. This essentially technical endeavor to adjust the system of legal sources was nevertheless in line with the prevailing mindset of the early modern period, and that of the centuries that followed. By revealing the role of jurists in crafting an antisemitic narrative, The Promise and Peril of Credit prompts a reflection on the reciprocal contributions in recent years between intellectual history and legal history.
