In recent political and legal history, scholars seldom specify how
and why they use the concept of territory. In research on
state-formation processes and nation building, for instance, the
term mostly designates an enclosed geographical area ruled by a
central government. Inspired by ideas from political geographers,
this book explores the layered and constantly changing meanings of
territory in late medieval and early modern Europe before
cartography and state formation turned boundaries and territories
into more fixed (but still changeable) geographical entities. Its
central thesis is that assessing the notion of territory in a
pre-modern setting involves analysing territorial practices:
practices that relate people and power to space(s). The essays in
this book not only examine the construction and spatial structure
of pre-modern territories but also explore their perception and
representation through the use of a broad range of sources: from
administrative texts to maps, from stained-glass windows to
chronicles.
