Locatelli revises our understanding of the leading currency of the Middle Ages, the florin, by investigating it as a medium with hitherto neglected political, social, and cultural dimensions in the interactions between the Florentine merchants, the Angevin Crown, and the Papacy. -- .
Minted in Florence around November 1252, the florin became one of the leading gold currencies of the Middle Ages. Historians agree that its success was mainly due to the need for a stable means of payment in the networks of international trade. The Florentine Florin investigates the florin as a medium with hitherto neglected political, social, and cultural dimensions. By bringing human agents and political institutions more prominently into the history of the coin, this book enhances our understanding of money and its nature from a historical perspective, and provides an original framework for the integrated study of material culture and economic practices. -- .
