| Özet: | This article investigates guilds in medieval Straßburg, analyzing their function and significance within the context of local political and constitutional history. Demonstrating that guilds were a fundamental element of this medieval community, the study traces their powerful influence on economic life, politics, social welfare, and popular piety, as well as on legal jurisdiction and advocacy. The microhistorical and prosopographical methods applied here reveal an extraordinary dynamism within such social groups, a quality which has been hitherto overlooked by scholars. This very flexibility and versatility, moreover, was crucial to the enduring success of guilds as a model for corporate life in and beyond the Middle Ages. |
