Several studies have been made of grain price fluctuation in Ghent in the fifteenth century. However, the details of that fluctuation have not been identified clearly in previous studies. In this paper I make clear that there were several patterns of price movements in periods of high prices and in periods of normal prices that must be related to the structural change of grain circulation: three types in the times of high prices: 1) a gradual rise followed by a steady, high level and a sharp fall; 2) a rapid rise and a gradual fall; 3) a sudden rise in the short term. In the times of normal prices there were also three types: 1) a gradual change which had in some cases a serrulated pattern with a rise in the last period of the season between harvests; 2) a fixed price in each harvest year; 3) continuous change over several years.
