Building on the broader framework introduced in the previous module (B1), this module focuses on a more specific topic: the Euro-Mediterranean economy in the Middle Ages (5th–15th centuries). The lectures, some of which will be seminar-based, will examine issues and sources relating to topics such as basic concepts for economic analysis, the relationship between humans and resources, the different types of sources available (e.g. written, material and visual) and how these can distort perspective; demography, economic logic in the Middle Ages; and the relationship between the agrarian economy and trade in the Mediterranean.
For non-attending students, the exam is based on the following texts:
- Alessio Fiore, Alma Poloni, L'economia medievale. Un profilo storico (secoli V-XV), Roma, Carocci, 2024 (and subsequent reprints));
- C. Wickham, L'asino e il battello. Ripensare l'economia del Mediterraneo medievale, 950-1180, Roma, Viella, 2024, chapters 7 and 8 (available on the class Teams channel)
- D. Internullo, Logiche religiose dell’economia nell’Europa altomedievale. Internullo legge Wood, «Storica» 88 (2024), pp. 141-155 (available on the class Teams channel).
