| Abstract: |
This session takes a fresh look at old questions of Italian urban history. It first considers the divergent pictures of Amalfi and its commercial development that emerge from specifically Amalfitan sources on the one hand and from external sources on the other and seeks to explain the discrepancy. It then looks at the economic expansion of Florence through the problem of weights and measures in the grain trade and staple food supply of the city in the 13th century, and it concludes with an account of Florentine merchants in the Kingdom of Granada during the 15th century.
