- Abstract
This article presents information on several papers related to agriculture and condition of peasants, that were published in previous issues of different journals. Recent theories about open-field agriculture have, however, been discussed by J.Z. Titow, "Medieval England and the Open-Field System," published in a previous issue of the journal "Past and Present." The balance of evidence, he claims, suggests that the open-field system, rather than cultivation in severalty, was the dominant form of arable cultivation in the thirteenth century, and the onus of proof rests with those who believe otherwise. M.J. Harrison, W.R. Mead and D.J. Pannett have compiled the paper "A Midland Ridge-and-Furrow Map," published in a previous issue of the "Geographical Journal." The main source of the silver, he suggests, was Germany, and it was paid for largely by a growing export trade in wool. In the paper "Freedom and Villeinage in England," published in a previous issue of the journal "Past and Present," R.H. Hilton contends that the last two decades of the twelfth century were the crucial period in the process of legal definition whereby peseants status was equated with serfdom.
