The
Cologne Schreinsbücher
as a source
for
economic history in a late medieval
town
https://majournals.bib.uni-mannheim.de/mwppeh/article/view/262/222/
he main purpose of this study is to briefly describe and prove the validity of one of these town books,
namely
the Schreinsbücher of Cologne, as a basis for research on city economy in the later Middle
Ages. In order to do that, the paper has been composed of four chapters that delve into four aspects of the collection of registrations: the way the acts were registered and the categories of legal practices they are part of, how these legal practices are described through the centuries, the role of scabini (city judges) in the productive process and the economic insights that could be gathered by an analysis on the transactions described in the collection.
Thus, the potential of the Schreinsbücher
from
Cologne
and
of
town books
in general
as a source for lat
er medieval economic history’s researc
h will be made
clear
