{"product_id":"building-early-modern-edinburgh-aaron-allen-9781474442398","title":"Building Early Modern Edinburgh: A Social History of Craftwork and Incorporation","description":"\u003cp\u003eMuch like in the present day, building a house in the sixteenth century involved masons, carpenters and glaziers, among others, and in many cities such trades had separate companies to govern their own affairs. In Edinburgh, however, they banded together in a single body - the Edinburgh Incorporation of Mary's Chapel. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBuilding Early Modern Edinburgh\u003c\/em\u003e traces the history of the organisation, which sought to control the capital's building trades and defend their privileges. By utilising a range of previously missing charters and archival documents, the author offers a new perspective on the prestigious and important craft guild in its 543 years of existence. Developing a crucial theme of 'composite corporatism', and using the concepts of 'family' and 'household' to approach an urban institution, this book is a valuable resource of comparative material for the study of craft guilds and urban history in a global context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aaron Allen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474442390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474442398\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/04\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 6.06w x 0.79d","brand":"Aaron Allen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43942847938815,"sku":"9781474442398","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_1eb51e94-ab94-4897-9a28-2de083e40044.jpg?v=1681494703","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/building-early-modern-edinburgh-aaron-allen-9781474442398","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
