Özet:

 In this study, salt production methods and salt trade in Medieval Europe will be discussed. For this purpose, we will first focus on the importance of salt for the societies of the period. In times when storage conditions were very difficult, salt had a wide range of uses, from food to preservation of corpses. It also appears as a medium of exchange and commercial commodity. After these issues are evaluated, salt production techniques in Europe of the period will be discussed and compared in order to better explain the subject. In this process, the differences between rock salt and salt obtained from the sea will be examined. In the continuation, salt production regions will be examined one by one, and the connection of production techniques with regional conditions will be investigated by giving examples. All these titles will be subjected to a ranking from north to south, and evaluations will be made on the functions of each region. At this point, the increasing salt trade in Europe since the second half of the Middle Ages will be emphasized, and then the influence of the Hanseatic League and the Italian states will be discussed. In addition, there will be some evaluations regarding the effects of monasteries on salt production and taxation. Subsequently, inferences will be presented in the conclusion section based on the findings.

 Bu çalışmada, Orta Çağ Avrupasında tuz üretim yöntemleri ve tuz ticareti ele alınacaktır. Bu amaçla öncelikle tuzun dönem toplumları açısından önemi üzerinde durulacaktır. Saklama koşullarının çok zor olduğu çağlarda gıdadan, cenazelerin muhafazasına kadar geniş bir kullanım alanına sahip olan tuz, bir değişim aracı ve ticari emtia olarak da karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu hususlar değerlendirildikten sonra konunun daha iyi izah edilebilmesi için dönemin Avrupasındaki tuz üretim teknikleri ele alınacak ve mukayese edilecektir. Bu süreçte özellikle kaya tuzu ile denizden elde edilen tuz arasındaki farklılıklar irdelenecek, devamında tuz üretim bölgeleri tek tek incelenecek, üretim tekniklerinin bölgesel koşullar ile bağlantısı örnekler verilerek araştırılacaktır. Bütün bu başlıklar, kuzeyden güneye bir sıralamaya tabi tutularak, her bölgenin fonksiyonları ve önemi üzerinde değerlendirmelerde bulunulacaktır. Bu noktada özellikle Orta Çağın ikinci yarısından itibaren Avrupada yükselen tuz ticareti üzerinde durulacak, Alman ticaret örgütü Hansa Birliği ve İtalyan devletlerinin tesiri ele alınacaktır. Bunun yanında manastırların tuz üretimindeki etkileri ve vergilendirme hususunda bazı değerlendirmeler olacaktır. Akabinde elde edilen bulgulardan yola çıkılarak sonuç bölümünde çıkarımlar sunulacaktır.
