The publication of Peter Spufford’s book Money and its Use in Medieval Europe in 1988 was a major landmark in the history of its subject. It has served as an inspiration for generations of scholars, many of whom have contributed to this volume.

The twelve chapters in this volume build upon the themes of Money and its Use in Me­dieval Europe and take them further. The subjects covered include the use of money in various parts of Europe, Italian mint masters and bankers, debasement, and the use of silver ingots or credit instead of coins.
