Abstract: This is the second volume of the author’s comparative study of guilds in Europe. The first, Institutions and European Trade. Merchant Guilds, 1000–1800 (Cambridge 2011) was discussed by this reviewer in Mediaevistik 25 (2012), 544‐46. This book deals with craft organizations, which Ogilvie defines (p. 10) as involving anyone but merchant wholesalers. The first chapter is historiographical, the last a conclusion, and eight substantive chapters deal with specific topics.
