Thus, in England, the mean quinquennial PB&H index rose 64 percent: from 88 in 1340-44 to 145 in 1370-74, falling sharply thereafter, by 29 percent, to 103 in 1405-09; after subsequent oscillations, it fell even further to a final nadir of 87 in 1475-79 (when, according to Fischer, the next price-revolution was now under way).
Far more important was the Central European silver mining boom, which began in the 1460s, at the very nadir of the West European deflation, which had thus raised the purchasing power of silver and so increased the profit incentive to seek out new silver sources: as a technological revolution in both mechanical and chemical engineering.
