Pakucs-Willcocks, Mária: Sibiu - Hermannstadt

Oriental Trade in Sixteenth Century Transylvania. This book deals with the oriental trade of Sibiu (Hermannstadt) based on the town's customs registers from 1500 to 1597. The focus of research is on the goods traded and the merchants who carried them from the Ottoman markets into Transylvania via the land routes of the Balkan Peninsula and Wallachia. The main interest of these primary sources is the light that they shed on the period after 1541, when the Ottomans took Buda and were advancing toward Central Europe. An edition of the customs registers 1537-1597 is provided as PDF on the CD-ROM enclosed. XIII,219 Seiten und eine CD-ROM als Beilage in Rückentasche, gebunden (Städteforschung.
