      <abstract xml:lang="en">
        <p>This volume examines risk management and insolvency in Europe from the thirteenth to the eighteenth century, exploring the relationship between legal norms and everyday practices. The inquiry extends beyond merchants to include producers and landowners, bringing together agriculture, manufacturing, and finance. At the heart of the study are institutional frameworks and the ways in which local and supra-state authorities regulated financial failure.
Particular attention is paid to conflict resolution strategies and the socioeconomic patterns that enabled economic activity to resume after financial collapse. Through a comparative perspective, the work reflects on the role of the state and the connections between insolvency and economic morality in the premodern world.</p>
