Fuentes para estudiar el comercio marítimo de la ciudad de Barcelona. De mediados del siglo XV a finales del siglo XVII

Abstract

With this contribution I intend to make available to researchers some primary sources that allow an approach to the study of maritime trade relations in Barcelona from the mid-fifteenth century to the end of the seventeenth century. This is a state of the art on the traffic of raw materials in the capital of Catalonia with the intention of placing this port in the international economic context. I explain some sources that allow to analyze import and export. Then I make a special mention to the right of entry and exit (entrades i eixides), preserved in the Generalitats collection of the Archivo de la Corona de Aragón. The brief study that is carried out allows us to analyze the entry and exit of raw materials and manufactures from a quantitative and qualitative perspective. From this source, information can be obtained regarding the amounts transported and, in some cases, its origin, allowing.
