GERMAN TEXT, paper covers, VG condition, 6 1/2 x 9 1/2, 198 pages. An annual bulletin containing historical articles of all types concerning the German Hanseatic League. ----------The Hanseatic League (also known as the Hanse or Hansa) was an economic alliance of trading cities and their guilds that dominated trade along the coast of Northern Europe in the later Middle Ages. It stretched from the Baltic to the North Sea and inland during the Late Middle Ages and early modern period (c.13th–17th centuries). The Hanseatic cities had their own legal system and furnished their own protection and mutual aid, and thus established a sort of political autonomy and in some cases created political entities of their own.
