Book Review: A Dissimulated Trade: Northern European Timber Merchants in Seville (1574–1598) by Germán Jiménez-Montes

Abstract

effects of the lex Rhodia de iactu. For readers who are not acquainted with the history of general average, a section on the longevity of the lex Rhodia and its influence on contemporary general average would have been useful, as well as an overarching thesis and theoretical framework to guide the book. However, for those interested in either contemporary analysis of the lex Rhodia or its influence on the development of maritime risk management up to the present day, this volume will function as a standard reference book for years to come.
