About this book
Bruges is traced from the first Flemings through the age of its builders in this volume by Ernest Gilliat-Smith, who calls it an outline rather than a full history. He points out that the city's rolls go back to 1280, with annual accounts kept from 1281 to 1789, and that four of its seven parish churches date from the twelve hundreds.
Chapters take in earliest Bruges, Arnulph the Great, the progress of the city and the fate of Charles the Good, followed by one titled Vengeance. Edith Calvert and Herbert Railton drew the illustrations, and a map closes the volume. It reached a fourth edition in 1909, eight years after the first.
