"This study deals, with two exceptions, with the century before the outbreak of the plague in 1348, a period of relatively active population growth in most areas.The area covered in this study may seem an arbitrary collection of countries from Ireland to India. In fact, it includes regions along the great trade routes from Ireland to India in the century, that is, from about AD 1250-1348, before the fourteenth-century attack of the plague. The chapter on India is earlier in time (AD 629-645), but indicates the impossibility of that country possessing the enormous population that it is accorded for the middle ages by some authorities. This, then, is a tentative study of late medieval regionalism, an examination of the spatial distribution of cities, a discussion of other regional characteristics, and an explanation of the possible reasons for the development of regions at that time." -from the introduction. Regions and cities covered include the following: Central and Southern Italy: Florence and Palermo; Regions of North Italy: Venice and Milan; Border Regions: Augsburg, Dijon, and Cologne; Frontier Regions: Prague, Magdeburg, and Lubeck; Northern Sea Regions: Ghent, London, and Dublin; Western French Regions: Paris and Toulouse; North-western Mediterranean Regions: Montpellier and Barcelona; Three Iberian Regions: Cordoba, Toledo, Lisbon; Two Near-eastern Regions: Antioch and Cairo; The Regions of Hiven Tsang's India.

Cloth, 8vo, 33 cm, xi, [1], 279, [1] pp, 80 plates. From the blurb - "While many reference books are useful in establishing the date and maker of a piece of gold or silver ware, it is still difficult to trace details about goldsmiths themselves - their place of business, the shop-signs they used, the date they moved from one address to another, or whom they succeeded or followed. Even to find the dates when a particular goldsmith was working is not easy. The main feature of this extraordinarily rich book - first published in a limited edition in 1935 - is an alphabetical list of nearly seven thousand goldsmiths who worked in the City of London between 1200 and 1800. Eighty trade cards are reproduced, and the author explains the meaning of many signs and customs of the goldsmith's trade. Trade cards were primarily used as advertisements, to call attention to the name and whereabouts of the shopkeeper. They are the only contemporary sources which give us some idea of the goldsmiths' signs, the articles made and sold and sometimes even the lay- out of the shop itself.
