This book is a collection of primary source documents that shed light on the commercial life and practices of 17th-century Mainz, a prominent trading city in the Holy Roman Empire. The author presents a series of complaints issued by various sectors of the merchant community to the city's ruler, the Elector and Archbishop of Mainz, regarding various obstacles to trade. These obstacles included unfair tolls, restrictions on foreign merchants, and corruption among officials. The complaints offer a vivid glimpse into the challenges faced by merchants in this period and provide valuable insights into the functioning of urban economies in early modern Europe.
