From Ad Hoc to Routine: A Case Study in Medieval Bureaucracy (Middle Ages Series)

Kittell (medieval history, San Diego State U.) traces the evolution of the office of general receiver of Flanders from a cluster of disparate functions into a central financial office with established processes, 1262-1372. She proposes that the emergence of such offices was a crucial factor in the formation of the modern state during the Middle Ages. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
