Configuration of European fairs
International audience
Fairs, Cities and Merchants
Today, it has largely been forgotten that fairs played a decisive role in trade and finance in pre-modern Europe. In the Middle Ages and Early Modern period, many cities endeavoured to obtain a fair privilege and attract as many merchants as possible. Through the economic activities and infrastructures provided, a supra-regional spatial configuration gradually emerged, which was not only made up of places within a region, but across the whole of …
Räumliche Konfigurationen des Messehandels im frühneuzeitlichen Europa
Early modern printed fair calendars provide information about location, the date and duration of trade fairs. They appeared in various literary genres and thus reached a larger audience beyond merchants. We present a dataset compiled from seven such calendars, containing 728 fairs from all across Europe, together with the initial findings from our analysis. The fair calendar data give insight into the spatiotemporal structure of the early modern …
Entangling Urban and Religious History
The general forms of urban life and the very process of urbanization – typically accepted as a given and seemingly irreversible – have only rarely been addressed beyond Western modernity. In this article, we propose “religion and urbanity” as a method to overcome such limitations. Focusing on what we claim to be a reciprocal formation, the study of the entangled history of religious change and the development of religions on the one hand and of u…
Thinking spatially
A new opportunity, and a new challenge, presents itself to urban historians. In order to obtain a deeper understanding of historical urban space and spatial relationships, the contributors to this Special Issue deploy new techniques of spatial analysis using mapping tools to explore the density, frequency and proximity of various features of towns and cities. The contributors focus on case-studies at various urban scales – from major commercial c…

History and Religion
History is one of the most important cultural tools to make sense of one’s situation, to establish identity, define otherness, and explain change. This is the first systematic scholarly study that analyses the complex relationship between history and religion, taking into account religious groups both as producers of historical narratives as well as distinct topics of historiography. Coming from different disciplines, the authors of this volume a…
History and Religion
This volume is the first systematic scholarly study that analyses the complex relationship between history and religion. It considers religious groups as both producers of historical narratives and topics of historiography. From different disciplinary perspectives, the authors explore how religions are historicised. In so doing, they address the biases and elisions of current analytical and descriptive frames in the history of religion

Public order in public space
The regulation of public space was fundamental to the achievement of ‘urban stability’ in the early modern period. As such, this article analyses the resolution of two tavern conflicts in eighteenth-century Lyon. Although the city council as well as royal representatives had an interest in administering peace within the city walls, the case studies demonstrate that public order depended upon a complex process of negotiation between different inst…
