The first articles in this volume focus on sources for the history
of Baltic commerce and the evaluation of their data on prices. In
most cases, though, surviving data is hardly adequate for any
extensive quantitative analysis of Polish economic history, and
many of these articles endeavour in different ways to use
comparitive approaches to help overcome this lack of substantial
statistical base - hence the set of studies on the economy of
travelling and the observations of travellers. Professor MaAzak
then turns to the structures of power in Poland and elsewhere in
late renaissance Europe, looking in particular at informal power
relationships and patterns of patronage. In terms of the
Polish-Lithunaian state, he would hold that centralized government
was already critically weakened in the late 15th century, and the
16th century saw the creation of a new power structure, based on
local self-government, and dominated by the nobility.
