Description

The origins of the large estate of Carolingian Europe and the role it played in the evolution of Frankish society and economy are the themes of this volume. The first group of articles focus on documentary evidence, especially the polyptychs and their interpretation. Though there is insufficient material for any true quantitive history, Professor Devroey argues that the evidence points to demographic expansion, coupled with the exploitation of new agricultural methods and crops, and a reliance on the family as the unit of production. Further studies relate these estates to the commercial networks of the area, from a local to an international level. A final concern is to demonstrate that the large estate formed a key component of the Carolingian rulers' aim to establish the 'bonum commune' and a stable society, with assured food supplies, regulated markets and a just system of weights and measures. L'origine du grand domaine de l'Europe carolingienne et le rAle qu'il jouait dans l'evolution de la societe et de l'economie du monde franc sont les themes de ce volume. Le premier groupe d'articles se concentre sur des documents et plus specialement sur les polyptyques et leur interpretation.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.
