{"product_id":"a-cultural-history-of-money-9781350363946","title":"A Cultural History of Money in the Medieval Age","description":"\u003cp\u003eMoney provides a unique and illuminating perspective on the Middle Ages. In much of medieval Europe the central meaning of money was a prescribed unit of precious metal but in practice precious metal did not necessarily change hands and indeed coinage was very often in short supply. Money had economic, institutional, social, and cultural dimensions which developed the legacy of antiquity and set the scene for modern developments including the rise of capitalism and finance as well as a moralized discourse on the proper and improper uses of money. In its many forms - coin, metal, commodity, and concept - money played a central role in shaping the character of medieval society and, in turn, offers a vivid reflection of the distinctive features of medieval civilization. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Drawing upon a wealth of visual and textual sources, \u003ci\u003eA Cultural History of Money in the Medieval Age\u003c\/i\u003e presents essays that examine key cultural case studies of the period on the themes of technologies, ideas, ritual and religion, the everyday, art and representation, interpretation, and the issues of the age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rory Naismith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350363944\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350363946\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/26\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.65w x 1.00d","brand":"Rory Naismith","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072465400063,"sku":"9781350363946","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fe8ccf7a-624b-448c-9dc2-f4e055dca497.jpg?v=1685442132","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-cultural-history-of-money-9781350363946","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
