Abstract

This essay analyses GA procedures in Amsterdam in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries by discussing the Statute Book of the ‘Chamber of Insurance and Average’. This manuscript is a unique guide to the handling of Averages in Amsterdam as it contains the regulations, the clarifications of the rules, some of the Chamber’s judgments and their accompanying calculations. The essay thus provides a snapshot of the institutional framework of maritime risk management in a critical period critical for the development of GA procedures in the emerging mercantile centre of Amsterdam.
