Abstract

This is the first English translation of Benedetto Cotrugli's The Book of the Art of Trade, a lively account of the life of a Mediterranean merchant in the Early Renaissance, written in 1458. The book is an impassioned defense of the legitimacy of mercantile practices, and includes the first scholarly mention of double-entry bookkeeping. Its four parts focus respectively on trading techniques, from accounting to insurance, the religion of the merchant, his public life, and family matters. Originally handwritten, the book was printed in 1573 in Venice in an abridged and revised version. This new translation makes reference to the new critical edition, based on an earlier manuscript that has only recently been discovered. With scholarly essays placing Cotrugli's work into historical context and highlighting key themes, this volume is an important contribution to our understanding of the origins of management and trade practices.

Abstract

This edited collection examines the formation of urban networks and role of gateways in Europe from the Middle Ages to the modern world. In the past, gateway cities were merely perceived as transport points, only relevant to maritime shipping. Today they are seen as the organic entities coordinating the allocation of resources and supporting the growth, efficiency and sustainability of logistics (including both the transport and distribution of goods and services). Using different historical case studies, the authors consider how logistics shaped urban networks and were shaped by them.

Abstract

De la fin du Moyen Âge à la Grande Guerre, les cas d'éloignements géographiques ne manquent pas et les familles multiplient les moyens susceptibles de protéger leur identité et leur cohésion. Creusée par l'altérité culturelle, atténuée par un entourage familier, altérée par la durée de la séparation et appréhendée différemment selon que l’éclatement de la famille soit une pratique courante, un événement exceptionnel ou imposé, la perception de l'éloignement n’est jamais proportionnelle à la distance mais bien sujette à des circonstances spécifiques. Si la correspondance, l’envoi de cadeaux et de portraits, la fréquentation des mêmes demeures, les rencontres périodiques, l'accueil de connaissances communes, le partage de références et de relations servent le même objectif - renforcer le sentiment d’appartenance commune et s'obliger les uns les autres -, ces « gestionnaires de la distance » constituent dans le même temps une ressource inégalement partagée et participent à une recomposition des rôles et des hiérarchies internes à la famille. Ce volume rend compte de la réflexion menée au cours de deux journées d’études organisées à l’université Marc Bloch de Strasbourg, en septembre 2004, par l'Équipe d'accueil « Sciences historiques » (EA 3400).
