Books by Esperanca Piquer Ferrer

Of the lists of taxpayers and other persons compiled by the city of Barcelona in the 14th century, only very few have come down to us. This volume contains the oldest extant examples, stemming from the 1360s. They comprise (a) tax surveys (talles) in the various urban districts of Barcelona, listing the names of the inhabitants and the taxes levied on them, and (b) a list of inhabitants (fogatge) from the surrounding areas of the city, the territori de Barcelona, in which the information on the persons living there served as the basis for counting the number of households (focs).
