| Abstract (English): |
This article aims to analyse the finances of the Coimbra city council from 1557 to 1836. Our objective is to examine the causes of long-term changes in municipal revenue and expenditure, particularly during the extended period of decline that occurred between the mid-17th century and the late 18th century. This study will focus on the composition of revenue and expenditure, as well as on revenue collection mechanisms. We aim to present the empirical data on the revenue and expenditure components that allow us to understand the changes that took place. Finally, we hope to be able to explain the causes that led to significant variations in revenue and expenditure in a dialogue with existing literature. The primary sources used correspond to municipal revenue and expenditure books, supplemented by other sources such as legislation, correspondence and auction books. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): |
Este artículo pretende analizar las finanzas del Ayuntamiento de Coimbra desde 1557 hasta 1836. Se pretende examinar las causas de los cambios a largo plazo en los ingresos y gastos municipales, en particular de la larga decadencia que se produjo entre mediados del siglo XVII y finales del XVIII. Este estudio se centrará en la composición de los ingresos y los gastos, así como en los mecanismos de recaudación de ingresos. A continuación, se pretende presentar datos empíricos sobre los componentes de los ingresos y los gastos que permitan comprender los cambios ocurridos. Por último, se intenta comprender las causas que han llevado a las grandes variaciones de los ingresos y los gastos en un diálogo con la literatura existente. Las principales fuentes primarias utilizadas corresponden a los libros de ingresos y gastos municipales, complementadas con otras fuentes como la legislación, la correspondencia y los libros de subastas.
