Over the course of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, European
society confronted rapid monetization, a process that has been
examined in depth by economic historians. Less well understood is
the development of architecture to meet the needs of a burgeoning
mercantile economy in the Late Middle Ages and early modern period.
In this volume, Lauren Jacobi explores some of the repercussions of
early capitalism through a study of the location and types of
spaces that were used for banking and minting in Florence and other
mercantile centers in Europe. Examining the historical
relationships between banks and religious behavior, she also
analyzes how urban geographies and architectural forms reveal moral
attitudes toward money during the onset of capitalism. Jacobi's
book offers new insights into the spaces and locations where
pre-industrial European banking and minting transpired, as well as
the impact of religious concerns and financial tools on those
sites.
