More Description"Sixteenth-century Augsburg comes to life in this beautifully chosen and elegantly translated selection of original documents. Ranging across the whole panoply of social activity from the legislative reformation to work,recreation, and family life, these extracts make plain the subtle system of checks and balances, violence, and self-regulation that brought order and vibrancy toa sophisticated city community.

Tlusty has done an invaluable service in crafting a collection that should be an indispensable part of the teaching syllabus." - Andrew Pettegree, University of St. Andrews
