Inhalt:
"This book aims to explore the links between poverty and economic life in the Middle Ages, understanding poverty more as a process than a state, and without limiting itself to the better-known periods of famine crises. This work offers a renewed reflection on the theme of poverty in the Middle Ages in Mediterranean Europe (9th - 15th century ) in order to grasp the economic and social phenomena characterizing it. The works, brought together here, of French, Spanish and Italian medievalists aim to go beyond the issues studied in the 1960s-1980s by Michel Mollat. The processes of impoverishment, working poverty, institutional and personal attitudes towards poverty and the material culture associated with it form the basis of the proposed studies. Also questioned are the relationships that poverty has with work, the links that it forces to form or to untie and what survival strategies are developed by those who, for one reason or another, have fallen into it" --
