Sommario/riassunto |

The Church dominated society in the Middle Ages and functioned as a quasi-government, providing public and private goods. This book examines specific institutions in the Church in the Middle Ages in economic terms. The focus is on marriage, usury, heresy, the crusades, and the monasteries. |
