Such networks were fundamental in the spread of cultural artefacts and practice, as well as leading to migration between the cities. This collection of essays applies network analysis to commercial networks, focusing on the roles of kinship, origin, religion and business in creating and maintaining urban economies"--Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Merchants -- Social networks -- Europe -- History -- 16th century Merchants -- Social networks -- Europe -- History -- 17th century Cities and towns -- Europe -- History -- 16th century Cities and towns -- Europe -- History -- 17th century BUSINESS & ECONOMICS -- Industries -- General.
