Chapter Poggio Bracciolini’s International Reputation and the Significance …
Poggius Florentinus delighted in his local identity but he also, famously, had an international career, being in attendance at the Council of Constance, being resident in England for four years (1419-1422) and seeking employment at the imperial court.

Chapter Markets and Merchants: Commercial and Cultural Integration in Northwe…
Between the thirteenth and seventeenth centuries commerce in northern Europe expanded and contracted. The long term net effect of the trade increase was an overall substantial impact on the economy and on the culture of the lands around the North and Baltic Seas.
