Abstract

This glossary provides a concise overview of all the sources used in the reviewed sample studies (see Chaps. 6 , 7 and 8 ). The variety of sources analysed in studies on premodern economy is large: historiographical texts, artefacts, archaeological sources, legal sources, administrative and business documents as well as letters, theological texts and databases are among them, showing how close the economy is interconnected with all parts of society. Eight main categories structure the different entries. Each entry provides a concise definition of one type of source, as well as some generalised information on its form, structure and content. Each entry also summarises the sources’ usefulness and value for research. In many cases, we also name edited examples in order to help our readers to look for specific and informative source material if interested in certain types of sources.
