| Scope & content | This book contains examples of millers and mills described in the 9th century polyptyques (inventories of human and physical resources of landed estates, especially monasteries). The University of Leicester explains: About thirty survive from Carolingian Europe. They provide a unique insight into the social and economic worlds of the peasants whose lives were dependent on the lords who owned and managed these large estates. The detail provided by these documents is unparalleled, and provides an important balance to the sources that focus on the lives of the elite https://www.le.ac.uk/hi/polyptyques/index.html |
