The Cantelowe Accounts - Multilingual merchant records from Tuscany, 1450-1451
No full textThe Cantelowe Accounts appear to offer the earliest evidence of an English merchant using Italian as a second language. They were written by John Balmayn, an unknown Londoner, who travelled to Tuscany to oversee the sale of a valuable wool shipment in 1450-51 on behalf of his master - the Mercer, Sir William Cantelowe. The author uses an intriguing mix of four languages, combining Middle English, Latin and Anglo-French with the administrative Tuscan that he has learnt working alongside Florentine partners, such as the Salviati company. Two other striking features of the text are the extensive use of Arabic numerals, unparalleled in fifteenth-century English accounting, and the unusually detailed descriptions of merchant marks that were used to identify the woolsacks. Overall, the accounts are unique amongst multilingual medieval sources and will interest economic historians and historical linguists alike

The Implied Warranty of Habitability and the Non-Merchant Landlord

The author explores the rationales which supported the creation of the warranty, examines the content of the warranty and discusses the reasons for the requirement of merchant status in product liability law. Finally, the author concludes that the policies of the implied warranty of habitability would most readily be served by its application to non-merchant landlords in a contract context and in a tort context predicated upon a negligence standard

American Conflicts Scholarship and the New Law Merchant
Get PDFProfessor Juenger argues that both the unilateralist and the multilateralist schools of thought share a fixation on the idea that law must emanate from the power of a sovereign state. The author points out that such a view of law is a historic; that, in the past, merchants relied on a substantive body of supranational rules that transcended national borders. This Article discusses the contemporary significance of the law merchant for law professors, law students, and practitioners.
The author explains how the practices of contemporary transnational commercial enterprises, as well as the opinions of contemporary scholars , support the idea that there is a substantive body of law, a new law merchant, that does not derive from sovereign states. The prevalence of arbitration as a means of dispute resolution buttresses this view, as do business customs and private codifications.
The author suggests that conflicts professors are wont to ignore the new law merchant in their teachings, in part because it threatens the very existence of their subject. The fact that private parties can emancipate their transactions from state and national law undermines the foundation on which choice-of-law theories rest. Moreover, the author argues that the new law merchant threatens theoreticians because it offers qualitatively superior solutions to transnational problems. Professor Juenger maintains that making room for the new law merchant in conflicts classes holds forth not only a threat but also a promise: it will benefit students and improve conflicts scholarship
