This paper explores the historiographical debate surrounding the Commercial Revolution, a central metanarrative of medieval historiography, focusing specifically on evaluations of the North-Central Italian economy. An analysis of eleventh-century Venetian notarial documents examines the mechanics of the local economy, placing particular emphasis on the city’s foundational bulk commodity: salt. By using the Eastern Adriatic/Dalmatia and its hinterland as a case study, the study ultimately contextualizes Venice's early geopolitical projection and network expansion within a broader (Central) European context.

Abstract
This paper explores the historiographical debate surrounding the Commercial Revolution, a central metanarrative of medieval historiography, focusing specifically on evaluations of the North-Central Italian economy. An analysis of eleventh-century Venetian notarial documents examines the mechanics of the local economy, placing particular emphasis on the city’s foundational bulk commodity: salt. By using the Eastern Adriatic/Dalmatia and its hinterland as a case study, the study ultimately contextualizes Venice's early geopolitical projection and network expansion within a broader (Central) European context.
