The Routledge Handbook of Maritime Trade around Europe 1300-1600
explores the links between maritime trading networks around Europe,
from the Mediterranean and the Atlantic to the North and Baltic
Seas. Maritime trade routes connected diverse geographical and
cultural spheres, contributing to a more integrated Europe in both
cultural and material terms. This volume explores networks'
economic functions alongside their intercultural exchanges,
contacts and practical arrangements in ports on the European
coasts. The collection takes as its central question how shippers
and merchants were able to connect regional and interregional trade
circuits around and beyond Europe in the late medieval period. It
is divided into four parts, with chapters in Part I looking across
broad themes such as ships and sailing routes, maritime law,
financial linkages and linguistic exchanges. In the following parts
- divided into the Mediterranean, the Baltic Sea, and the Atlantic
and North Seas - contributors present case studies addressing
themes including conflict resolution, relations between different
types of main ports and their hinterland, the local institutional
arrangements supporting maritime trade, and the advantages and
challenges of locations around the continent. The volume concludes
with a summary that points to the extraterritorial character of
trading systems during this fascinating period of expansion.
Drawing together an international team of contributors, The
Routledge Handbook of Maritime Trade around Europe is a vital
contribution to the study of maritime history and the history of
trade. It is essential reading for students and scholars in these
fields.
