On insurance

[AMSTERDAM].

Large woodcut coat-of-arms of Amsterdam on title.



Amsterdam, Barent Adriaensz, 1599. 4to. Large woodcut coat-of-arms of Amsterdam on title. (16) pp.

New edition, published a year after the first edition of 1598, of the first separate publication by the city of Amsterdam of its laws on insurance. In 1597 the Handt-vesten ende Privilegien van Amsterdam, had first been published, including Placcaten on bankrupcy, monopolies, usurers, legacies of church-people, insurances, etc., as well as extracts from the customs at Antwerp on matters of insurance and bills of change. But the present Ordonnantie was the first firm regulation regarding  insurances of the city of Amsterdam.
The pamphlet contains the regulation in 36 articles of the newly founded Chamber of Insurance at Amsterdam. At the end two model-forms are added for use of merchants who want to insure their cargo  aboard ships. On verso of the last leaf an extract from the privilege is given, and the publisher's colophon, both dated 1598.
The Ordonnantie was republished again in 1603. In 1604 it was added to the Boeck vande Zeerechten, which had  been published first by the same publisher, Barent Adriaensz., in 1594.
