I was accompanied on this journey by many people who have supported, inspired and helped me. It was on a Friday afternoon that my journey began, when I knocked on the door of the office of Karel Davids. Although I was initially interested in the voc, Karel soon convinced me to focus on the unknown: marine insur- ance. The lure was evident and I have not regretted the choice since. In the early stages of my research, I felt like a ship’s boy, the most junior member of a crew, an absolute novice. The fact that I have been able to finish this project is due to Karel who, as an experienced captain, guided me through the unknown world of economic-historians, of archival research, of illegible handwritings, ancient and modern. Apart from his near inexhaustible knowledge and expertise, Karel is gifted with the rare ability to motivate, to inspire and to challenge. I could not have wished for a better supervisor. I am forever indebted to him for his unre- lenting support and patience and for bringing out the best in me. I would also like to thank Bernard Compaijen, my co-supervisor, for the many years of support, advice and observations, for his friendship and the laughs we had while sharing an office. My sincere thanks to the members of my Pro- motie committee, Frank den Butter, Femme Gaastra, Paul van de Laar and Clé Lesger for their willingness to read my manuscript and their helpful comments for improving it. I would also like to thank Kees Camfferman, not only for his valuable commentary as a member of the committee, but also for his support in times of distress, and his trust in offering me the opportunity to work at the de- partment of Accounting. I am grateful to the Vrije Universiteit, and in particular to the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, for giving me the opportunity to pur- sue my dreams – special thanks to Janny Westra for her understanding and sup- port, to Frans Snijders, Mira Maletic, Ina Putter, Jan-Willem Visser and Saskia Brand. Trudi, Manon, Vera and Bouk: thank you for all your help. I have en- joyed working with my colleagues at the departments of Economics, Finance and Accounting, in particular Phil Kint, Bas van der Klaauw (always willing to remind me of dissertation deadlines), Peter Kroos and Frits Duimstra. I would like to extend my thanks to all at the Tinbergen Institute, in par- ticular Arianne de Jong. Although I was officially a member of staff at the Faculty of Economics, I was warmly welcomed by the department of Economic and Social history of the Faculty of Humanities of the Vrije Universiteit, for which I thank in particular 10 Marine Insurance in the Netherlands 1600-1870 Wantje Fritschy and Petra van Dam, as well as Doreen Arnoldus. In the course of the years, I have had the pleasure of meeting and interacting with a number of scholars of whom I would like to particularly thank Marjolein ‘t Hart for her advice and expertise, and in general for her understanding and patience. I am indebted to Oscar Gelderblom for his valuable remarks on earlier papers, for his enthusiasm and for inviting me to seminars and workshops. Often forgotten, but invaluable to many – and certainly to me – are the people from the vu li- brary and of the ict department, in particular Shaam Mannie Sing, who helped me in many ways. Robert Mosch, Herbert Rijken, André Lucas, – thank you for your support during the past years. In recent years I have greatly benefited from the expertise of staff members of the various archives.

Idem etiam divus Augustus iudicavit. (D.

General average is one of the most ancient vestiges of maritime law and practice. Although the decline of Ancient Greece and the rise of the Roman Empire altered the influence of Rhodes maritime law; Rhodes retained its existence as a uniform code, since it was peaceful and profitable for Mediterranean trade. The Mediterranean Sea was, for more than one thousand years, only ruled by the Rhodian law, although augmented with some additions by the Romans. As a matter of fact, the lex Rhodia de iactu may be one of the most controversial issues of Roman private law, since the texts tend to be more historical than juristic.

Guy Sébastien Antoine Rocourt 26 JUNI 2015 UVA GESCHIEDENIS, MASTERSCRIPTIE Studentnummer: 10900713 Mail: [email protected] Telefoonnummer: 023-5478355 Docenten: Geert H. Janssen en Femke A. Deen Voorwoord Geachte lezer, Na jaren van studie, waarin ik veel geleerd heb, is de tijd daar om een deel van deze kennis en vaardigheden met u te delen. De afgelopen jaren waren niet gemakkelijk voor mij. Hoewel geschiedenis mijn hobby en leven is, geldt dit niet voor het schrijven van werkstukken, verslagen en essays. De afgelopen jaren stonden dan ook veelvuldig in het teken van een levenslang gevecht met mijn handicaps: dyslexie en ADD. Dit gevecht kreeg dit jaar een drastische wending. Ik ging na mijn bachelor aan de VU mijn master aan de UVA volgen. Dit blijkt een van mijn beste keuzes uit mijn leven geweest te zijn, want met de positieve feedback en steun van onder andere Dr. Vincent Kuitenbrouwer, Prof. Geert Janssen, Dr. Maartje van Gelder en dr. Maaike van Berkel heb ik voor het eerst in mijn leven ook positieve ervaringen opgedaan met het schrijven van artikelen. Hoewel het verschil tussen de VU en UVA voor mij groot is geweest, wil ik in het bijzonder toch ook Prof. Koen Goudriaan bedanken. Hij heeft mij drie jaar op de VU onder zijn hoede genomen en gesteund. Naast de dankbetuiging naar de universitaire docenten, wil ik vooral mijn ouders bedanken omdat zij mijn hele leven een steun zijn geweest en altijd, zelfs tot 4 uur ’s nachts, klaar stonden.

The personal touch and the fact that their opinion is sought, was rated very positively. The study paints a clear picture of the current review of the PT in East Groningen and the ideas about its future. Furthermore the research brought to light a number of specific issues and could form a solid foundation for further development of future transport concepts that maintains the viability and accessibility of East Groningen. 2 Satisfaction with current public transport The insufficient supply of PT in the area leads to low usage and low satisfaction with the PT network.

A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Ingrid Frederika DeSanto 2018 ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Righteous Citizens: The Lynching of Johan and Cornelis DeWitt, The Hague, Collective Violence, and the Myth of Tolerance in the Dutch Golden Age, 1650-1672 by Ingrid Frederika DeSanto Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles Professor Margaret C Jacob, Chair In The Hague, on August 20 th , 1672, the Grand Pensionary of Holland, Johan DeWitt and his brother Cornelis DeWitt were publicly killed, their bodies mutilated and hanged by the populace of the city. This dissertation argues that this massacre remains such an unique event in Dutch history, that it needs thorough investigation. Historians have focused on short-term political causes for the eruption of violence on the brothers’ fatal day. This work contributes to the existing historiography by uncovering more long-term political and social undercurrents in Dutch society. In doing so, issues that may have been overlooked previously are taken into consideration as well.
