Symposium “Mynt, makt och människor – vikingatidens silverpenningar“, Royal Coin Cabinet, Stockholm, March 27th, 2010: “Vad kan ett globaliserat penningsystem lära av vikingatidens myntväsende?” »»» ‘What can a globalized monetary system learn from the coinages of the Viking Age?’
The aim of the second part of the study is to examine the coinage of those mints in the German lands, which were left at the emperors’ disposal by the 15th century. Therefore, the coins of the mints of Dortmund, Frankfurt (Main), Nördlingen, Nuremberg and Basle which are preserved in the major collections are catalogued on the basis of die-studies. Apart from cataloguing the coins, a fresh look at the written sources is going to provide information as well on the organisation of the mints and the mintmasters as on Konrad of Weinsberg, the lessee of those mints, and his comprehension of the money supply and monetary theory in general.

The publication of the medieval German coins in the Uppsala University Coin Cabinet was initiated by Professor Peter Berghaus (Münster), whose card index of the German coins from the Viking Ages has been computerized and enhanced by the later medieval specimens. Additionally, digital images of all the coins were taken. The book was layouted by Computus Druck Service. »»» ‘Publication of the medieval German coins in the Uppsala University Coin Cabinet’
The projected edition of the correspondence between Christian Jürgensen Thomsen (Copenhagen) and Hermann Grote which covers the years 1835 to 1865 was already begun in the 1950s by Professor Peter Berghaus (Münster). Thomsen’s letters are preserved in Grote’s estate in the Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek in Göttingen, Germany. »»» ‘Edition of the correspondence between Christian Jürgensen Thomsen and Hermann Grote’
Book cover
The account book of the printmaster Peter Drach of Speyer is a unique source for the booktrade in the late 15th century. A thorough evaluation of the account book has shown that Drach’s business activities were founded on the participation of his family, whose members are introduced to the reader. Even though Drach’s business was flourishing, he could not cope with losing the city council’s support. Therefore, his wholesale trade collapsed in the 1490s. The loss could not be compensated for by the retail trade. After Drach’s death in 1504, his wife sold the business to one of his sons. However, the book trade never regained its former scale. »»» ‘Master thesis: The account book of the printmaster Peter Drach of Speyer’
