These two registers are a valuable new source for the economic, linguistic, and transportation history of medieval France, offering a window onto the commercial life of Tarascon, a fortified town on the east bank of the Rhône between Avignon and Arles. William D. Paden discusses the developing fiscal policy of the counts of Provence, for whom the tolls were collected, and the practice and vocabulary of medieval toll-keeping. An afterword considers the toll registers in relation to the poetry of troubadours, arguing that the realism of the registers and the idealism of troubadour poetry overlapped in the world of medieval Tarascon."-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Text in English; includes Occitan texts with English translations Print version record Subject Tolls -- France -- Tarascon (Bouches-du-Rhône) -- Registers -- Early works to 1800 Transportation -- France -- Tarascon (Bouches-du-Rhône) -- History -- To 1500 -- Sources Occitan language -- Dialects -- France -- Tarascon (Bouches-du-Rhône) -- History -- To 1500 -- Sources Nobility -- France -- Provence -- Economic conditions -- Sources HISTORY -- Europe -- France.
