Fonti fiscali e stime patrimoniali. Gli ebrei di Genova nella prima metà del Settecento

Tax records and Wealth Estimation. The Jews of Genoa in the First Half of the Eighteenth Century

Andrea Zanini

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: This paper examines the problem of quantifying the wealth of the Jews of Genoa during the first half of the eighteenth-century, starting from unpublished sources compiled for tax purposes. Although the values recorded do not reflect the real consistency of wealth, but represent a rough estimate of the fiscal capacity, they offer a new picture of the social stratification of the Jewish community of the time, and allow us to identify its prominent members.
