In one of the largest cities of western Christendom, the trading
metropolis Venice, writing and reading had ceased to be the
preserve of the clerical body as early as the 11th and 12th
centuries. Several thousand Venetian documents from the period
prior to 1200 reveal that large sectors of the population already
had elementary writing skills. The study examines the use made of
writing by merchants, the role of the written medium in everyday
Venetian life, and schools and teachers in Venice. The study is the
first to provide detailed insight into the progress of literacy in
a major medieval European city.
