Trade, taste and ecology
Often considered a ubiquitous and widely available sweetener, this article represents the first study of the honey trade across Europe in the later Middle Ages. Demand for honey, fuelled by diverse cultural and social factors, encouraged an international trade that by the late medieval period spanned the Mediterranean, western Atlantic, and the North and Baltic Seas, connecting peoples, traders and landscapes from Beirut to Novgorod. As a natural…
Bees in the Medieval Maghreb
Believed to originate in Paradise and set apart in their chastity, bees were potent religious symbols in medieval Christianity and Islam. This article explores how these beliefs drove an extensive trade in wax and honey, and examines the role of Jews, conversos, Christians, and Muslims in this trade. Further, it considers the environmental context and the extent to which religious prohibitions against trade between Christians and Muslims may have…

A number of studies have looked into local annuity markets, mainly focusing on local conditions. This article explores capital networks for urban debt by analyzing the external relations of the Brunswick annuity market in the 15 th and 16 th centuries. Our study is based on an examination of data on foreign buyers of Brunswick (Braunschweig) annuities from the unpublished ‘Weddeschatbücher’ that registered sales of redeemable annuities. The analy…
A Source Collection on Urban Annuities, 14 th –18 th Centuries
Annuities were an important credit instrument throughout much of Europe during the pre-modern period. Here we present the interest rates on annuities sold by urban authorities across the Holy Roman Empire and Italy from the 14 th to 18 th centuries. Following an introduction to the sources for urban annuities, the data is organized into three sets: 1. Annual means by market; 2. Raw data by market; 3. City links expressed in currency, silver weigh…
Bees in the medieval economy
The high and late middle ages saw a significant increase in demand for beeswax, a fundamental component of medieval Christian devotion, spurred by both changing socio-economic conditions and shifts in religious practice. The vast quantities of wax needed for churches and religious foundations in England drove a thriving international trade spanning from the hinterland of Novgorod to the port of Lisbon, while at the same time encouraging widesprea…
The productivity of peasant agriculture
Agriculture was the largest and most important sector of the medieval English economy. Yet although peasants comprised the majority of the population, and were responsible for the greater part of land use, surprisingly little is known about peasant cropping patterns and production strategies. Taking the Crowland Abbey manor of Oakington, Cambridgeshire as a case study, this article examines peasant land use and agricultural strategies. Using data…
