Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the utilization of statistical data in medieval economic and social history, a practice which originated in the late Middle Ages. The author posits that it is possible to construct an image of economic activities and commercial relations by examining customs registers, shipping manifests, and merchants' account books. These ledgers, despite their simplified nature, contain valuable information on the volume and nature of trade in the medieval era. The author examines these sources in detail, demonstrating how they can be used to reconstruct trade flows, commodity prices, and the relative economic importance of various regions. The book concludes by discussing the limitations and possibilities of this approach, suggesting that it can provide valuable insights into the economic history of the Middle Ages.
