The first edition of the fundamental “De mercatura seu marcatore” by Benvenuto Stracca (Venice, 1553), which is considered the founding work of commercial law as an autonomous discipline, has been recently reprinted in its original form.

Thanks to the initiative of Marco Cian, prof. of Commercial Law at the University of Padua, the editor Giappichelli (Turin) has even reproduced the original (very small) format. Stracca’s work is accompanied by several introductory essays, included one by our PI Stefania Gialdroni:

– Marco Cian, “Il diritto commerciale, autonomia di una disciplina”

– Stefania Gialdroni, “Benvenuto Stracca: l’uomo e il giurista”

– Raffaele Volante, “L’opera culturale di Benvenuto Stracca: contesto e finalità”

– Maura Fortunati, “Il ‘De mercatura’: struttura, contenuti e metodo”

– Giancarlo Petrella, “La tradizione a stampa del ‘De mercatura'”
