Reviews
'This is a very substantial volume in both its concept and its realization. It will expand our knowledge within the field of pre-modern craft - and pre-modern urban economy/society as a whole - and should prove to be useful for current and future discussions and research.' Reinhold Reith, University of Salzburg, Austria
