"THe first historian to look at the emergence of the Carolingians as a fucntion of economics and the spread of Islam, as opposed to only in terms of local European military and political factors. Some odd misconceptions, though, such as the statement that Jews were 1/3 of Narbonne, but were also "all bankers, since they were waelthy".???"
"A classic of medieval scholarship. Quite readable - a clear exposition of his thesis with lots of support. You can generally just skip the specialist Latin terminology. Follow this up with the Hodges & Whitehouse (1983) book."
"Medieval history generally bores me to tears, but I found this a very stimulating read, despite the fact that poor old Pirenne was never able to refine his work -- he died shortly after completing the first draft. But the book is clear, to the point, easy to read, and a valuable contribution to our understanding of the decline of the Roman Empire and the beginning of the Middle Ages."
