      title = {Financing in Europe : evolution, coexistence and  complementarity of lending practices from the Middle Ages  to modern times /},
      abstract = {This book explores the evolution of credit and financing  in Europe from the Middle Ages through to the nineteenth  century. It engages with the distinct political, economic  and institutional frameworks of the examined areas  (England, Italy, France, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands  and Turkey) and discusses how these affected the credit  market. It covers a wide range of different types of  lending/borrowing instruments, the destination of capital,  the way it was raised, and the impact it had on local or  national economies in a very long run. Presented in two  parts, part one of the book focuses on credit markets in  the preindustrial age, in particular the period before the  advent of modern joint stock banks. Part two examines the  evolution of credit at the time of the emergence of modern  banks.--},
