This beautifully produced, new history of medieval Glasgow consists of eight chapters each written by a different author, among them David Sellar, Dr E Patricia Dennison, and Dr James Macaulay. It considers areas such as law, courts and people, the great buildings of early Glasgow, daily life, disease and death, and the role of the church. Professor Michael Lynch’s introduction expertly draws the chapters together, and the timeline, from the 7th to the 17th century provides the reader with a useful reference tool.
