| Abstract | The main problem of the research on small-scale credit relationships in medieval societies has been the lack of sources, since everyday economic practices of mutual debt were usually run informally and have not been documented. Recently the discussion has been stimulated by new impulses, particularly in the area of urban credit practices. This session is based on the original research studies about different regions (Tyrol, England, …) and contributes to this research field with the exemplary analysis of the materiality of sources (ie. tally sticks, account books, notaries) that so far have not been used for this purpose. |
