The Concept of the Just Price
In The concept view of many economists the just price is a nebulous concept invented by pious monks who knew nothing of business or economics and were blissfully unaware of market mechanisms. It is true that certain writers, Catholics and non-Catholics alike, have done their best to accredit this fairy tale and to propagate the notion that the just price, instead of being set by the allegedly blind and unconscionable forces of the market, was det…
The Story of the Alberti Company of Florence, 1302–1348, as Revealed in Its Account Books
This study is an attempt to reconstruct the history of a medieval company on the basis of the extant fragments of its account books, the only surviving records. Despite the incompleteness of the data, it was possible to reach important conclusions and to show that the continued existence of a medieval firm depended on the same factors as today: coordination, efficient management, and effective control. The records also shed interesting light on p…

Money, Banking, and Credit in Medieval Bruges
In any economic system, whether medieval or modern, “money, banking, and credit,” are so closely connected and interwoven that they cannot be separated. Banking involves the extension of credit, and credit leads to the creation of additional purchasing power or, to use a different phrase, of money substitutes. The importance of credit and banking in medieval times should not be underrated, as is sometimes done by placing undue emphasis on later d…
The Medici Bank Organization and Management
The organization of a commercial firm or a corporation is usually J. determined by the nature of its business. We must, therefore, know the meaning of the word “bank” which appears in the title of this study. Today this word has a variety of meanings. There are all sorts of banks: central banks, commercial banks, member banks, and so forth. In the fifteenth century, there were not so many kinds of credit institutions. But still the word “bank” ha…

The Medici Bank Financial and Commercial Operations
According to the articles of association forming the Medici partnerships, the purpose of the banco in Florence and of the branches abroad was “to deal in exchange and in merchandise with the help of God and good fortune.” When we ask just what is meant by dealings in exchange and in merchandise, we are led to examine how the Medici raised the funds with which they operated, to study their role as fiscal agents of the papacy and lessees of the Tol…

The Three Golden Balls of the Pawnbrokers
The accompanying picture of a pawnbroker's shop and sign was taken in Boston in 1946. The sign of the three balls is a common sight in the poorer sections of many American cities, and its meaning is always the same: the balls signify that within the shop loans may be obtained on the pledge of personal property. This type of loan is centuries old: it existed in ancient Greece at the time of Pericles and in ancient Rome at the time of Augustus. Pro…

The Account Books of Collard de Marke
Very little is known about Collard de Marke, whose account books I examined in the Municipal Archives of Bruges in the summer of 1937, except that he was one of the sixteen money-changers licensed to practice in Bruges during the 1360's. That much is clear from the municipal records in which he is listed among the money-changers who were fined because they had exchanged nobles (a Flemish coin) at an illegal rate. His account books are of great va…

Discussion by Raymond de Roover
Professor Gras' paper is so full of new concepts and ideas that it is very difficult to make any useful comments in a few minutes. I shall, however, try to discuss a few points which appear to me worthy of special emphasis because they may require a revision of accepted interpretations

The Decline of the Medici Bank
The power of the Medici as a banking house, and their weakness also, become clearer when we examine the source of their funds. The main problem is whether the Medici bank operated mainly with the money invested by the partners or whether most of the operating capital was supplied from outside sources. It would be easy to settle this question if some balance sheets of the Medici bank were still available. As none have come down to us, another meth…

Le moyen âge face à l'histoire statistique
Les historiens se résignent trop facilement, peut-être, à ne pas soumettre à la statistique les siècles antérieurs au XVIe. Encore faudrait-il des chiffres. Mais ces chiffres existent plus nombreux et plus serrés qu'on ne le pense et c'est une des tâches de l'érudition que de nous les fournir demain. Le récent article d'Edouard Perroy, ici même, nous a montré qu'ils étaient utilisables. Du coup un moyen âge nouveau se présente à nous
