Money and the Middle Ages

"Le Goff is magisterial in his treatment of medieval documentary sources, and of modern historical debate."
Ashmolean Museum
"Money and the Middle Ages provides those insights into the period which we associate with this master of historical writing."
Times Literary Supplement
"Le Goff has produced a masterpiece: a work which brings together all the complex issues surrounding money and the ways it was conceived and utilized. At the same time he has succeeded in telling a story about individual people and their hopes and fears."
Michael Clanchy, University of London
"In this sweeping essay, at once concise and inventive, Jacques Le Goff returns to a theme on which he has been writing for over fifty years: history, culture, and money. The argument is brisk, the examples wonderful, and his engagement with the material and religious contexts as vigorous as ever. This is still the Le Goff whose history-writing has proved so influential for two generations now."
John Van Engen, University of Notre Dame
"A very clear and authoritative analysis of the perception and use of money across three very turbulent centuries of western European history"
