AB This paper conducts a revision of the origins and main features of rural markets in the Crown of Aragon before the crisis of the late Middle Ages (XIth through mid-XIVth centuries). In its first part, it draws a balance of the two main approaches followed by researchers in dealing with the genesis of peasant markets: urban history on the one hand -which emphasizes the idea of rural markets being the result of urban ones spreading into the countryside- and, on the other, rural history -which rather focuses on the distinct genesis of rural markets in a context of expansion (XIth to XIIIth centuries). It is moreover claimed that the market should not be studied only as the physical location for trade, but that attention should be paid as well to the different types of rural markets: land markets, loan markets, income markets, etc. The second half of this paper presents a review of extant knowledge regarding the small market towns of the Crown of Aragon before 1348 and their distinct development in the north and south, including the evidence that already in the XIIIth century the several types of markets mentioned above were common in those towns.
