Nearly a century after it was first published in 1925, Medieval Cities remains one of the most provocative works of medieval history ever written. The consequent interruption of long-distance commerce accelerated the decline of the ancient cities of Europe. Here, Henri Pirenne argues that it was not the invasion of the Germanic tribes that destroyed the civilization of antiquity, but rather the closing of Mediterranean trade by Arab conquest in the seventh century.
He also describes the important role the middle class played in the development of the modern economic system and modern culture. Pirenne challenges conventional wisdom by attributing the origins of medieval cities to the revival of trade, tracing their growth from the tenth century to the twelfth. Featuring a new introduction by Michael McCormick, this Princeton Classics edition of Medieval Cities is essential reading for all students of medieval European history.
