Description

It's a monumental magnum opus on the former Barcelona economy, noting the aspects that made the city one of the trading powers of the Mediterranean starting in the Middle Ages until well entered into the sixteenth century: its important merchant marine, strong guild structure and industrial productivity all supported by numerous documents from its archives, many of them unpublished until then.

The book was illustrated with cartoons headers and drawn by well-known artists (Camarón, Montaña, etc.) and copper gravures etched mostly by the artist Moles. Antoni Palau comments: "..this basic title contains "an arsenal of documents and first-hand data" that compose altogether a very important work.."

Together with the four volumes of Memorias históricas, there is a fifth volume: "Code of maritime customs of Barcelona" that reproduces the Book of the Consulate of the Sea of Barcelona, forming a collection of five volumes, with an extraordinary historical and documentary value about the history of Catalan Navy.

gollark: - Most functions return `Result`s.- Outofbounds access, for example, can `panic` for not really handleable situations.- You can use the `?` operator which sticks in an early return (returning the errory thing, obviously) if it's an error or otherwise just returns the value of the `Ok`.- You can also do valid-result-or-panic with the `unwrap`/`expect` method.- Panics are isolated to threads.
gollark: Rust handles totality quite well, I think.
