From the reviews: "The volume offers contribution to the scientific, historical and socio-economic background of Bronzin's work, as well as papers covering the history of derivative markets and option pricing. ... The present book demonstrates that Bronzin's treatise should be numbered among them. Because of this and due to including the additional chapters representing original contributions, the book can be recommended as particularly relevant for those interested in the history of option pricing and hedging."
