This bibliography covers publications that appeared during 2006 and during the year 2005 when they were not known before the deadline for last year's bibliography. In this case the year of publication is mentioned in the citation.
It follows criteria defined in 1994, being divided into two broad areas: general literature on financial history in section 1, and specialised material in section 2. Section 2 is then subdivided chronologically, and further by geographical area (the complete classification scheme was published in FHR, volume 1, part 2, October 1994, pp. 157–60). Ancient history has been abandoned since FHR, 11.2, October 2004, and the bibliography starts now from the Middle Ages.
Where there are no entries for a particular section, the heading has been omitted. Abbreviations have been kept to a minimum, but standard abbreviations, such as J. for Journal, Q. for Quarterly, Rev. for Review/Revue, have been used throughout. Short titles are used for references to edited volumes within the section in which they are listed; elsewhere they are cited in full. Doctoral theses and working papers are not included. Articles published in books ‘edited by’ are mentioned only if the bibliographer accessed the index of the book before the publication deadline. English translations of some titles in European, Asian and African languages are used in the bibliography only when the source of the bibliographic citation made them available. All URLs used for website citations were alive in July 2008.
