- Authors
Hunter, Matthew C.; Zalin, Mackenzie S.
- Abstract
The article delves into the multifaceted contributions of Nicholas Barbon, a prominent figure in early modern London known for his roles as a theorist of trade, speculative builder, and advocate of urban development. It examines Barbon's inaugural disputation at the University of Utrecht in 1661, recently translated into English, to uncover connections between his medical philosophy and subsequent interests in commerce and risk management.
