Overview

The second volume of The Cambridge Economic History of Europe, first
published in 1952, was a survey by an international group of specialist scholars
covering trade and industry in pre-Roman, Roman and Byzantine Europe, the
medieval trade of northern and southern Europe, and the histories of medieval
woollen manufacture, mining and metallurgy, and building in stone. This second
edition, in addition to revising most chapters and the bibliographies appended
to them, also fills gaps which arose from the wartime and post-war circumstances
in which the first edition was written. New chapters provide accounts of the
trade and industry of eastern Europe, of medieval Europe's trade with Asia and
Africa, and of medieval coinage and currency. Taken with volumes I and III of
the series, this volume is designed to complete a comprehensive review of the
economic history of medieval Europe as a whole. It was planned by the late Sir
Michael Postan, and was largely completed under his editorship.
