{"title":"Rural Commercialisation in Fourteenth- Century Southern Germany: The Evidence from Scheyern Abbey","authors":"Shami Ghosh","doi":"10.25162/vswg-2017-0004","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.25162/vswg-2017-0004","url":null,"abstract":"This article explores the extent and nature of rural commercialisation in Bavaria and neighbouring regions in the middle of the fourteenth century. Although it is now generally accepted that English rural society was already highly commercialised by this point, the situation in England has rarely been subject to detailed comparison with other parts of Europe, and few studies exist that examine rural commercialisation in medieval Germany. On the basis of an analysis of seven years of accounts from Scheyern abbey, the results of which are then compared both with other sources from and studies of southern Germany, and with the recent scholarship on England, this paper suggests that southern Germany was in fact in many respects comparable to England in terms of rural commercialisation, and therefore that differences in tenurial structure and the chronology of servile incidents are less relevant than have often been thought for the understanding of economic change in the later middle ages.","PeriodicalId":83466,"journal":{"name":"Vierteljahrschrift fur Sozial- und Wirtschaftsgeschichte","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69220448","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bearing local names and owning houses “intra muros”, they appear well integrated into the local society. One of them was a judge, two others ranked among the “boni homines”. The local charters do not mention, however, any connection of this group to international trade. The chronicle “Al-Muqtabas” of the Andalusian historian Ibn Hayyan offers new perspectives reporting a free trade agreement (“Aman”) between the Caliph of Cordova and the ruler of Naples in 940 which was negotiated in Barcelona. Two years later, the first visit of Amalfitan traders to Cordova took place. The Caliphate of Cordova must have been looking for an alternative trading connection with the Islamic east as the rivalling fatimide Caliphs in Tunisia were trying to disrupt the traditional route along the North African coast. The services of Amalfi, well known for its oriental connections, were a solution and Barcelona seems to have become an important hub with a “Greek” trading colony.","PeriodicalId":83466,"journal":{"name":"Vierteljahrschrift fur Sozial- und Wirtschaftsgeschichte","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69219951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

North tries to explain why in some countries institutional change and economic growth occurs, while in other countries institutional standstill and economic stagnation is persistent by integrating institutions into neoclassical growth theory. Institutions are capable of lowering transaction costs. This approach raises the claim to be a conceptual framework for interpreting entire recorded human history and thus pursues a universal-historical intention. According to this framework, throughout all of human history there have been just three institutional orders: the primitive order, the limited access order, and finally the open access order. In doing so the Theory of Institutional Change presumes that history conforms to certain characteristics such as meaningfulness, rationality, unity, momentum, necessity and directionality. This, however, makes the Theory of Institutional Change not only to an economic growth theory, but also to a philosophy of history.","PeriodicalId":83466,"journal":{"name":"Vierteljahrschrift fur Sozial- und Wirtschaftsgeschichte","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69219964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
