Reviewer's Comments: The author devoted years to personal on site
research in European towns as well as of course in archives and libraries. The
result is a magnificent, highly illustrated, study of the many different
aspects of commerce in the later middle ages. The content directly refutes much
misunderstanding of the development of commerce and the role and status of
merchants during this era.
