The Rise and Decline of an Iberian Bourgeoisie is one of the first
long-term studies in English of an Iberian town during the late
medieval crisis. Focusing on the Catalonian city of Manresa, Jeff
Fynn-Paul expertly integrates Iberian historiography with European
narratives to place the city's social, political and economic
development within the broader context of late medieval urban
decline. Drawing from extensive archival research, including legal
and administrative records, royal letters, and a cadastral survey
of more than 640 households entitled the 1408 Liber Manifesti, the
author surveys the economic strategies of both elites and
non-elites to a level previously unknown for any medieval town
outside of Tuscany and Ghent. In a major contribution to the
series, The Rise and Decline of an Iberian Bourgeoisie reveals how
a combination of the Black Death, royal policy, and a new public
debt system challenged, and finally undermined urban resilience in
Catalonia.
