The historian Aloys Schulte compiles a history of the Great Ravensburg Trading Company in his three-volume work, which was one of the most significant European trading companies of the late Middle Ages from the late 14th to the early 16th century. The second volume deals, among other things, with the transport routes and goods of the company, as well as its decline. This book is a reprint of the long out-of-print original edition from 1923.
