Reviews for Medieval Trade in the Mediterranean World: Illustrative Documents
"Because of its extensive notes and commentary, Medieval Trade in the Mediterranean World continues to be useful to scholars. Its principal value, however, is as a teaching text: as one of the few that concentrates on documentary rather than narrative records."
