Edition of the returns made by English merchants, recording the
transactions of foreign traders. The "Views of Hosts" is the name
given to the returns which merchant "hosts" in London, Southampton
and Hull were required to provide for the Exchequer. They listed
the imports and purchases made by their foreign merchant "guests",
who came mostly from Italy, Spain and the Low Countries. The
returns, printed here in full for the first time, provide details
of the goods traded in and out of these ports, and also the names
of the foreign merchants, and of the local men and women who bought
their wares and sold English goods to them in return. The volume
thus not only throws light on individual merchants and craftsmen
living and working in these ports, but will also be of interest
tothose concerned with the patterns and practices of English trade
in the fifteenth century. The returns themselves are complemented
with full apparatus and notes; introduction; biographies of more
than 500 English people mentionedin the texts, as well almost 130
foreign merchants; and a glossary of commodities.
