The Guild Cities of Europe plate: a locator map of twenty cities on a latitude and longitude grid, with a timeline band beneath it

Map & timeline

How Guilds Built Medieval Europe, 1100–1600 — Map & Timeline

€ 9.95 VAT included · digital download, nothing is shipped

Twenty European cities where guild institutions are unusually well documented, each with a dated fact and a note on how firm that date is — plotted on a latitude and longitude grid with no coastline and no border, because between 1100 and 1800 every border in the frame moved and a map that drew one would be choosing a year in silence.
