La cuenta de mercaderes y las rentas menudas del Almojarifazgo Mayor de Sevilla a finales del siglo XV.

Abstract

This work offers new evidence about the evolution of custom duties in the city of Seville by the end of the Middle Ages. Its exceptional sources are located in the Simancas Record Office and in that of Valladolid Royal Chancery. The files contain the contributions issued by hundreds of merchants to the Sevillian Almojarifazgo Major rentas menudas (custom duty) and their detailed tax declaration concerning the worth of the so called “petty customs” in that particular almojarifazgo.
