How Medieval Europe Learned to Move Money, 1150–1500 — Map & Timeline

€ 9.95 VAT included · digital download, nothing is shipped

Twenty places where credit, coin and clearing are documented between 1150 and 1500, the five networks that joined them, and the instruments that made distance payable — from the Hanseatic Kontore at Bergen and Novgorod, through the Champagne fairs, to the Italian banking houses and the Levant terminals. Every dot marks a documented institution with its date, on a Natural Earth base.
