Summary:

"This book is the synthesis of long years of study and research by a great historian. M. Pirenne contends that it was not the invasions of the barbaric tribes that destroyed the civilization of antiquity, but the closing of the Mediterranean which put a stop to commerce and sent the cities into their decline. He traces the growth of the medieval cities step by step with the revival of commerce from the tenth to the twelfth centuries" - Publisher.
