E-raamat: Making Money in the Early Middle Ages

"A Choice Outstanding Academic Title of the Year" "Piecing together case studies from the Mediterranean and northern Europe, as well as looking at mining, metal production and alternative forms of currency, this is a rich account of early English numismatic history." * Spears * "Making Money in the Early Middle Ages provides a broad portrait of daily life through the lens of currency in the ninth century that makes the book a worthwhile read."---Ryne Clos, Spectrum Culture  "Clearly written and boasts an extensive bibliography. Naismith's interpretations modify or supplant many standard views, indicating points that still require additional investigation. This is necessary reading for specialists." * Choice * "A joy to read, in no small part because of Naismiths vivid prose. . . .If you want to know about peoples little quirks and preoccupations, their appetite for acquisition and the enduring human obsession with wealth, then Making Money in the Early Middle Ages will suit you well."---Mary Hitchman, Times Literary Supplement "There is no better overall account of the nature and chronology of the coinage and monetary arrangements of early medieval Europe available in any language than that of Rory Naismith in this volume, nor is there likely to be one in the foreseeable future."---Alan M. Stahl, Speculum "An important study with implications that go far beyond monetary history. . . . Naismith has made a strong contribution to the socio-economic history of early medieval Europe by his meticulous analysis of virtually all the available archaeological and historical numismatic evidence an interdisciplinary achievement in itself."---Jan Lucassen, TSEG - The Low Countries Journal of Social and Economic History
