Jason Coy’s latest article is entitled “Magistrates, Beggars, and Labourers: Migration and Regulation in Sixteenth-Century Ulm” in Gated Communities? Regulating Migration in Early Modern Cities, Bert De Munck and Ann Winter, eds., (Basingstoke: Ashgate Press, 2012): 157-174.
The volume is derived from papers delivered by the invited participants at a conference at the Royal Academy of Belgium for Arts and Sciences in Brussels, Belgium in September 2009.
“Research over the past decades has amply demonstrated that migration was a pervasive characteristic of early modern Europe…While striving for a broad geographical and chronological coverage in a comparative perspective, the volume aims to enhance our insight into the different factors that shaped urban migration policies in different European settings west of the Elbe.”
