The post Income from the chaplaincies of the diocese of Salamanca (1779-1783) first appeared on History Lab.

]]> The resource shows the incomes that the chaplaincies in Salamanca had in the late 18th century, between 1779 and 1783. But what was a chaplaincy? It was a perpetual foundation endowed with material goods with which to cover annual spiritual expenses. Like an entailed estate, the lands of the chaplaincies financed the masses that the founders stipulated, and which had to be officiated by a chaplain, normally a direct member of the founding family who was chosen to enter the clergy as a form of social reproduction. In return, the chaplain received a benefit and financial support, either directly or through the lease of the endowed land. The table shows the importance of land in the income of the foundations: 51.56% in the form of wheat and rye income, far from census income (14.06%), money (11.71%) or urban properties (6.25%). Within these general data for the diocese of Salamanca, there were areas in which, depending on their economic activity, the foundations received different levels of income: in the vicariate of Miranda del Castañar, census revenues accounted for 41.86% and wine income 34.88%, while wheat and rye accounted for a low 2.33%.

]]> The Floridablanca Census, carried out during the reign of Charles III in 1787, is one of the first censuses carried out using modern accounting techniques. Its aim was to establish the number of the population and to see what trades they carried out. Its data, collected from all the inhabitants of each municipality, are divided by sex, age, profession and marital status. On a collective level they collect data related to the number of hospitals, houses of religion, prisons, etc. 10,268,110 inhabitants were counted in Spain, with varying population densities (the average was 22.7 ahb/Km2). The linked INE wen offers the 6 volumes that correspond to the census and which are divided by geographical areas.

]]> The Census of Pecheros records the list of neighbours who were called “pecheros”, i.e. those who had to pay the Service tax to His Majesty. It shows, municipality by municipality, the number of pecheros and the amount they paid, and is one of the most widely used demographic sources, although it must be complemented by others. This tax affected the common classes and excluded both the nobility and the Church. Ordered by Charles I in 1528, its methodology places it in a pre-censal period, using rudimentary accounting for its elaboration.

]]> This census draws on the experience of the Floridablanca Census (1787). It was commissioned in 1797 and published in full in 1801. However, the data provided by it should be taken with caution; rather, it should be complemented with other historical sources. We can find data by provinces on men, women, bachelors, married, widowed, clerics, and numerous trades such as merchants, craftsmen, farmers or fishmongers.
