Monetary Fluctuations and Credit in Netherlandish Early Modern Learned Legal Practice

Abstract

The essay explores monetary fluctuations and credit in Netherlandish printed sources of the early modern “learned legal practice”, i.e. the consilia and decisiones. After a summary of the medieval discussions on the topic and an introduction to the source material, this contribution will argue that many Netherlandish jurists opted for a nominalist solution, but that the very frequent usage of valuation clauses practically speaking moved most of them to adopt a “pragmatic metallist” opinion instead.
