A Companion to Medieval Vienna

This volume offers a comprehensive introduction to the major political, social, economic, and cultural developments in Vienna from c. 1100 to c. 1500. It provides a multidisciplinary view of the complexity of the vibrant city on the Danube. The volume is divided into four sections: Vienna, the city and urban design;, politics, economy and sovereignty; social groups and communities;, and spaces of knowledge, arts, and performance. An international team of eighteen scholars examines issues ranging from the city's urban environment and art history, to economic and social concerns., using a range of sources and reflecting the wide array of possible approaches to the study of medieval Vienna today.
