| Sumari: | This book offers the reader the edition and historical contextualization of 232 contracts for the sale of land taxes made by the Crown with a good number of Portuguese municipalities around 1527. This documentation occupies eight large tombs of a specific series in the chancellery of King João III, a very significant archival investment in the constitution of a very important body of documents, particularly in terms of the costs and means involved, which shows the Crown's recognition of the importance of the political decision, taken at the Cortes de Torres Novas in 1525, to transfer, in the form of contracts of sale, to the kingdom's municipalities, the obligation to collect the revenue from each municipality's taxes. The interest of studying these contracts of 1527 and the years that followed, which until now have been practically ignored by Portuguese historiography or only very superficially and indirectly touched upon, and their publication, goes beyond a merely local dimension, revealing, through the analysis of the data contained in the sales contracts, pertinent aspects of the fiscal and economic life of the country at that time, its population, settlement, society and the ways in which local powers exercised their intersection with the central royal power. It is this global view of the country, which the documentation in question provides, that justifies the relevance of this book. |
