Abstract

Hanseatic trade with Mediterranean fruits is a topic of recent interest among historians, because it depicts the entanglement between different economic areas. This paper examines the commerce with raisins and trade routes between the Mediterranean and Northern Europe. Sources about the trade with raisins are collected from documentary sources to illustrate the vivid trade between the Hanseatic area and the Mediterranean from the 13th century onwards. This study focuses on the documentary evidence of international marketplaces, like Flanders and England and the Hanseatic cities. Since the trade with raisins was part of bigger trade flows, it allows us to embed Hanseatic trade in the wider picture of European and Mediterranean commodity market networks.
