Lex Mercatoria Rediviva (1795)
No Customer Reviews
Also known as the law merchant, consuetudinary law or, somewhat anachronistically, commercial law, lex mercatoria is a system of customary law that developed in the European commercial community during the middle ages to regulate the dealings of mariners and merchants. Although lex mercatoria fell out of use during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, many of its principles were incorporated into the common law. They would later provide the foundation of the (U.S.) Uniform Commercial Code. Beawes fl. 1775] was a merchant and his book, as indicated by its title, was intended to revive the lex mercatoria. Intended primarily as "a guide to all men in business," this book was nevertheless often cited by lawyers and its authority formed the basis of several decisions. It was especially influential in the United States, where, according to Kent's Commentaries on American Law, it was considered "an authority in mercantile customs" (III:126). The first edition of this book was published in 1751. Our reprint is of the sixth edition, which has considerable additions by Thomas Mortimer 1730-1810], an expert on finance and commercial law. Reprint of the sixth edition, two volumes.
