Item BuchbeitragCounting Land Transactions. The Perils and Gains of Quantitative Approaches to Late Medieval Land Markets, Tested on Wine-Growing Villages Near Vienna, 1454–1513Counting Land Transactions. The Perils and Gains of Quantitative Approaches to Late Medieval Land Markets, Tested on Wine-Growing Villages Near Vienna, 1454–1513([Franz Steiner Verlag], 2021) Nussbaum, Samuel; Ertl, Thomas; Frank, Thomas; Nussbaum, SamuelIn order to evaluate activities and mechanisms pertaining to medieval land markets, numerous case studies have been conducted that collect and analyse quantifiable data – above all, transaction numbers. Such quantitative approaches have been subject to particularly rigorous discussion in the context of the land-family bond debate. Although originally focused on much broader questions, this extensive debate has exerted significant methodological influence on land market research. In this contribution, these methods are examined critically by applying them to a case study of three Lower Austrian wine-growing villages. This allows for an in-depth discussion of the challenges of their implementation as well as their methodological issues and potential. The assessment of manorial sources from the Klosterneuburg monastery reveals that the quantitative evidence of an active land market for the 15th and early 16th century is ambivalent. These results suggest a rather low tenurial continuity in the case of families, yet also some major uncertainties around this. The analysis further highlights theoretical and source-related reservations and methodological constraints.Item ArtikelOrganising Landed Property: Manorial Administration Strategies in the 15th and Early 16th CenturiesOrganising Landed Property: Manorial Administration Strategies in the 15th and Early 16th Centuries(Sciendo, 2019-12-31) Kaska, Johannes; Nussbaum, SamuelThis paper provides an analysis of micro-level processes in the land administration of two different monastic estates, Lambach in Upper Austria and Klosterneuburg in Lower Austria, in the 15th and early 16th centuries. It argues that several different institutional factors can be seen as driving forces of administrative progress and innovation. To keep up with not always congruent economic, legal and social demands, the two monasteries pursued different strategies in administering their landed property. Their approaches and advancements indicate that the development of bureaucratic use of written texts should not be seen as one of the ever-increasing rationalities but rather as the result of a multilayered cultural process.
