Source: Marco Polo, adventurer and author, describing the city of Tabriz near Persia in The Book of Ser Marco Polo, the Venetian: Concerning the Kingdoms and Marvels of the East, ca. 1300 CE.
The men of Tauris [Tabriz] get their living by trade and handicrafts, for they weave many kinds of
beautiful and valuable stuffs of silk and gold. The city has such a good position that merchandize is
brought thither from India, Baudas, Cremesor, and many other regions; and that attracts many Latin
merchants, especially Genoese, to buy goods and transact other business there; the more as it is also a
great market for precious stones. It is a city in fact where merchants make large profits.

the catholic church withhold people's access to the bible during the middle ages.

people could go to church and listen to the teachings, but it was absolutely forbidden to own and/or read the books of both the old and new testaments. it was also prohibited to translate the books (which where originally in biblical hebrew) to any other language.

this was done so the church could remain in control of what their teachings were and to enhance their importance and power, while also being able to judge people's actions through information that was unavailable for the general public.
