A thought you could add to your article. In the medieval period in Europe, advertising outside your shop was strictly forbidden because it was considered an assault on your senses. I totally agree with this sentiment.

Interesting. Do you have a source for that? Not that I'm inclined not to believe you, but I'd really love to read more on that. Thanks in advance. =)

Thanks for that thought! Definitely fits in there. Do you have a link to some source about that, though? I'd love to know about this in more detail.

Phillip Campbell (aka Boniface) of http://unamsanctamcatholicam.blogspot.com/ should be able to point you in the right direction, he is a medieval scholar.

Edit: Sorry I don't have any exact citations, he said it in an interview wit Ryan Grant, so I'm sure he has a source he read somewhere.

All good, thanks!
