«La révolution industrielle du Moyen Âge» is the historical essay by Jean Gimpel, published by Seuil in paperback (244 pages, in French).
Jean Gimpel argues that the Middle Ages were not a stagnant era but the setting for a first industrial revolution between the ninth and thirteenth centuries. New energy sources, technical inventions and agricultural advances transformed the economy, with water as motive power, mining and the mechanical clock. The decline came with plague and famine.
It belongs to the Points Histoire collection (no. H19) and is the 1975 French edition published by Seuil.
A reference work for those interested in medieval history, economic history and the history of technology.
