Presentación:

Este seminario, impulsado por “Arca Comunis. Red de Investigación sobre Historia de la Fiscalidad Medieval y Moderna” y que cuenta con la participación de historiadores de amplia trayectoria junto con especialistas jóvenes de una enorme proyección, tiene como objetivo contribuir a la comprensión histórica del hecho fiscal en la Corona de Castilla y en el ducado de Saboya. Las intervenciones, basadas en una rica y variada documentación, serán el punto de partida de una reflexión sobre el papel de la guerra en el proceso de construcción de la fiscalidad pública y, al mismo tiempo, sobre la influencia de la fiscalidad en las dinámicas productivas y mercantiles, tanto en territorios de realengo como en los señoríos. Todo ello concebido desde la larga duración histórica y sin olvidar la importante función de la negociación y de los intermediarios fiscales.

Call for Papers – Medieval accountability: normativity, numeracy, and rhetoric from the institutional to the domestic sphere

University of Bucharest, 2-3 June 2023

The last two decades of research into medieval ideas and practices of accountability emphasised the multifaceted nature of this subject, from financial accountancy to norms of conduct in office to broader notions of social responsibility. As individual studies tended to focus on one or a couple of specific aspects, it becomes important at the present historiographical juncture to direct our attention to the points of articulation between the different practices of accountability, circa 1200–1500. This two-day conference invites contributions that examine accountability from multiple angles and test new approaches. We particularly encourage comparisons between the institutional and the private sphere, for instance as regards the mutual influences and shared culture of accountability/responsibility. Equally, we welcome contributions that discuss the relation between, on the one hand, numeracy and accounting, and on the other hand, memoranda and instructions about conduct in office or more broadly in society. As a way of expanding the traditional emphasis on accounting records, papers can also explore other sources that evince relevant aspects of social and institutional conduct and one’s responsibility for it, such as administrative reports and inquests.

The conference papers will be collected in an edited volume published with an international academic press and should reflect original, unpublished research. The organisers will provide three nights hotel accommodation and help defray travel expenses. For inquiries, contact Ionuț Epurescu-Pascovici at ionut.epurescu-pascovici@icub.unibuc.ro

Proposals of circa 300 words outlining the source material, methodology, and anticipated findings should be emailed to ionut.epurescu-pascovici@icub.unibuc.ro by 15 December 2022.

The Routledge Handbook of Public Taxation in Medieval Europe

https://www.routledge.com/The-Routledge-Handbook-of-Taxation-in-Medieval-Europe/Menjot-Caesar-Garnier-Pijuan/p/book/9780367903367

Beginning in the twelfth century, taxation increasingly became an essential component of medieval society in most parts of Europe. The state-building process and relations between princes and their subject cities or between citizens and their rulers were deeply shaped by fiscal practices. Although medieval taxation has produced many publications over the past decades there remains no synthesis of this important subject.

This volume provides a comprehensive overview on a European scale and suggests new paths of inquiry. It examines the fiscal systems and practices of medieval Europe, including essential themes such as medieval fiscal theory and the power to tax; royal and urban taxation; and Church taxation. It goes on to survey the entire European continent, as well as including comparative chapters on the non-European medieval world, exploring questions on how taxation developed and functioned; what kinds of problems authorities encountered assessing their fiscal power; and the circulation of fiscal cultures and practices across cities and kingdoms. The book also provides a glossary of the most important types of medieval taxes, giving an essential definition of key terms cited in the chapters.

The Routledge Handbook of Public Taxation in Medieval Europe will appeal to a large audience, from seasoned scholars who need a comprehensive synthesis, to students and younger scholars in search of an overview of this critical subject.
