Money and its Use in Medieval Europe
This is a full-scale study of the history of money, not merely of coinage, to have been written for medieval Europe. Its scope extends from the mining of precious metals on the one hand, to banking, including the use of cheques and bills of exchange, on the other. The book is not limited to one country, or to any one period or theme, but extracts the most important elements for the historian across the broadest possible canvas.
Thus money is seen as having differing values for differing parts of individual societies. Chapters are arranged chronologically, rather than regionally or thematically, and offer a detailed picture of the many and changing roles played by money, in all its forms, in all parts of Europe throughout the Middle Ages. The book shows money moving and changing as a result of war and trade and other political, economic and ecclesiastical activities without regard for national barriers or the supposed separation between 'East' and 'West'.
