Review
"Because of its extensive notes and commentary, Medieval Trade in the Mediterranean World continues to be useful to scholars. Its principal value, however, is as a teaching text: as one of the few that concentrates on documentary rather than narrative records."

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Medieval Trade in the Mediterranean World (Records of Western Civilization Series) (Paperback)
This is a very good collection of letters, contracts and other historical documents relating to trade in the Med. between 900 and 1500 AD. The editors are well informed and provide a brief yet solid analysis of each document.For those who want to know more about trade in the region (mainly Venice, Genoa, Constantinople, etc.) this is an excellent selection
