Edda Frankot completed her PhD in History and Law at the University of Aberdeen. Since then, she has worked as a research fellow at the universities of Groningen and Aberdeen, before becoming a lecturer in History at the Erasmus University in Rotterdam in 2011.
...Dr Frankot conducts her research with rigour and sophistication,
and she presents it with a degree of precision and lucidity not
always found among native speakers of English.... So far as
northern Europe is concerned, the central thesis of the book is
that there was no common maritime law in the later medieval
period....Dr Frankot shows in three ways that any comparable
conception of maritime law would be... erroneous....two dimensional
as this examination of maritime law may seem, it is impressive both
in its wide range and its attention to detail. The high quality of
the research and writing is matched in the production of the book,
which by current standards is not extortionately priced for the
wealth of information and depth of insight it provides.... The book
makes a significant contribution to Scottish legal history, and
anyone interested in medieval maritime law will wish to study it
closely and constantly.--J D Ford, Gonville and Caius College,
Cambridge "Edinburgh Law Review, Volume 17.3 (September 2013)"
Edda Frankot's monograph makes a clear and intelligent yet concise
intervention in the historiography of European maritime law...This
monograph is both timely and welcome.--SEBASTIAN SOBECKI,
University of Groningen "Journal of American History, Vol. 101, no
