Biography

Maurits den Hollander is a historian specializing in legal, institutional, and socio-economic developments during the Middle Ages and the early modern period. In 2021, he defended his dissertation titled 'Stay Execution' at Tilburg University, graduating cum laude. His dissertation focuses on the impact of innovative insolvency legislation in seventeenth-century Amsterdam. He has extensively rewritten his work under the title 'Court, Credit, Capital', which is set to be published by Cambridge University Press in 2025. In 2023, he obtained a Starter Grant for a new project called 'Professionals People', which analyzes the influence of urban administrative officials on law and policy-making processes, along with aspects of good governance and accountability in the late medieval and early modern Netherlands.
