Abstract

This glossary provides a concise overview of all the methods and approaches employed in the reviewed sample studies (see Chaps. 6 , 7 and 8 ). We use the term method in a very broad sense: It comprises all the possible ways of dealing with the sources. The glossary thus gives an impression of how a tool kit for doing premodern economic history could look like. We aim to give you an impression of how the method works, which should help you decide whether this approach may help you deal with your sources and answer the questions that you are studying. Every entry summarises the basic idea underlying this approach. It sketches how the method is applied and which sources and data you need if you want to get meaningful results. The choice of a method for doing a study in premodern economic history depends heavily on the sources that have survived and are available. Every entry thus points out the scope and the limitations of the respective method.
