St Antoninus of Florence on Trade, Merchants, and Workers

""In this erudite volume Jason Aaron Brown locates the writings of Archbishop Antoninus of Florence within the intertwined contexts of late medieval theology and economic history. Brown's work comprises two books in one: a critical edition of chapters on trade, merchants, and workers from Antoninus's Summa and a beautifully written introduction covering subjects including translation theory, theology, law, economics, and the history of labour. The resulting study will prove useful to experienced scholars and beginning students alike.""--Roisin Cossar, Professor of History, University of Manitoba ""This is an impressive piece of scholarship that is clearly the product of both in-depth research and a thoughtful editorial approach. The extended introduction provides a range of useful background information, as well as detailed palaeographical and codiocological analysis. This thorough edition of the text is expertly presented and translated and, with the Latin original and English translation presented side-by-side, it showcases the importance of scholarly interpretation.""--James Davis, Professor in the School of History, Queen's University of Belfast ""St Antoninus of Florence on Trade, Merchants, and Workers is a superb scholarly resource. The scholarship is very impressive, the edition and translation hugely useful for a range of scholars and students, and the introduction illuminating and insightful. The book will be of enormous value to the wider scholarly community.""--Hannah Skoda, Associate Professor of Medieval History, University of Oxford
