Alternative Paths Towards the Age of Mercantilism: Revisiting the 17th Century's Economic Crisis

Grenet, Mathieu

Completely new subject for me, as I wrote my PhD on the Greek communities on Venice, Livorno and Marseilles, 1770-1830s. While doing this research, I came across different series of documents which I was only able to use marginally within the framework of my dissertation: these included police records, court records, commercial papers and notarial archives involving foreigners in Livorno, Venice and Marseilles from the 17th to the early 19th century.
