Silver, not sterling
Monetary history is little loved and often finds few suitors, so it may perhaps seem churlish to call attention to a disagreement with a fellow practitioner. Mayhew graciously cited several of my articles on sixteenthcentury monetary matters in his recent article' in this journal. At the risk of appearing ungrateful, I am impelled to offer some clarification of my views and methods while not disagreeing directly with his results. He is quite corr…

Money and Power in Fifteenth-Century France
L'or, L'argent, la guerre dans la France médiévale
Dans son Testament politique, le cardinal de Richelieu consacre huit parties à la ' puissance du prince ', dont une plus particulièrement à l'or et l'argent comme l'un des instruments de pouvoir les plus nécessaires à l'État. Il constate que l'or et l'argent sont les tyrans du monde, et que leur empire, bien qu'injuste, est parfois si raisonnable qu'il faut en accepter la domination . De toute évidence, la tyrannie des métaux précieux n'a pas com…

The Economy of Early Renaissance Europe, 1300–1460
In his unique analysis of the economic structure of early Renaissance Europe, Harry A. Miskimin uses topical economic concepts to examine the far-reaching changes that drew the monarchs of Europe ever further into the management of economic affairs between 1300 and 1460. He shows in colourful detail how the political power of European kings rose during these centuries as they increasingly became the centers of economic strength, and as money repl…

Agenda for Early Modern Economic History
It is graceless, perhaps, to begin by quarrelling with the program committee in my initial remarks, but I must plead that the assignment itself—to propose an agenda for early modern economic history—provides a mandate for such seemingly uncouth behavior. The controversial issue, of course, is the periodization of economic history into the traditional Middle Ages (pre-1500) and the Early Modern Period (post-1500). The division has never been sharp…
Florentine Public Finances in the Early Renaissance, 1400-1433
book of novel but persuasive balance, that conveys a coherent and broadly convincing pic- ture of the development of Galileo's scientific thought.There are seven chapters, on his debt to Archimedes, work on hydrostatics, sunspots, the comets of 1618, and a detailed analysis of the Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems (The End of the Aristotelian Cosmos; The World in Motion; and The Physical Proof from the Tides).The emphasis throughout…
Two Reforms of Charlemagne? Weights and Measures in the Middle Ages
W l rITHIN a few generations of the death of Charlemagne the organizational and political structure of his 'empire was destroyed. The geographical ties which had held together the empire, always a patchwork of conquests, were dissolved in the fratricidal struggles among the successors of the great Charles. His era of relative peace, intellectual consolidation, and economic prosperity, however modest, remained for centuries a memory of better time…
Money, Prices and Foreign Exchange in Fourteenth Century France
Jean Bodin and the Sixteenth-Century Revolution in the Methodology of Law and History . Julian H. Franklin
Monetary Movements and Market Structure—Forces for Contraction in Fourteenth-and Fifteenth-Century England
That the Black Death of 1348–1349 disrupted the economies of Europe during the later middle ages is not open to doubt. That the economic effects of the plague varied from sector to sector is perhaps equally indubitable. The diversity of its impact upon various economic sectors reveals itself both in contemporary evidence and in the fiery controversies generated by modern economic historians, each basing his argument on conflicting statistics or i…
Economic Depression of the Renaissance?. III
erhaps the most serious criticism which Professor Cipolla has levelled against our statistical apparatus lies in his notion of the 'increased demand for metallic money', by which he seems to mean that the commodity price of bullion rose, or, more simply, that prices fell. The evidence does suggest an increase in the purchasing power of gold and silver, at least in the agricultural sector; but it hardly damages the argument presented in conjunctio…

The Economic Depression of the Renaissance
lIT ~~~~~~~~~~I VYW henever a medievalist ventures to talk about the Renaissance, he knows that he will be automatically suspect of bias, even if he utters nothing but praise. How much more suspect when he dares to introduce economic depression in the midst of artistic plenty! At a I954 meeting of the American Historical Association, which I contend was packed with historians of art, my comments on what I then believed (and still believe) to be t…
Le problème de l'argent au Moyen-Age
Dans son article classique, ' Le problème de l'or au Moyen Age ', Marc Bloch constate que ' l'histoire du commerce de métaux précieux, comme tant d'autres chapitres de l'histoire monétaire, est malheureusement, pour l'instant, une page blanche '. Les études de Henri Laurent, A. Girard, et plus récemment celles de Renouard, et de Roover et de Maurice Lombard, montrent que certains des plus notables historiens économistes d'aujourd'hui attachent en…
