Medieval Cities

Their Origins and the Revival of Trade

More about the book

The book explores the decline and revival of Europe during the Middle Ages, challenging the notion that Germanic invasions were solely responsible for the Dark Ages. Henri Pirenne analyzes the impact of Muslim invasions and the disruption of Mediterranean trade on ancient cities. He highlights how the resurgence of trade in the 10th and 12th centuries fostered the emergence of new urban centers and the rise of the middle class, ultimately shaping modern economic systems and culture. This work is essential for understanding medieval history.
