Abstract
En el Archivo de la Catedral de Toledo se conserva un número importante de documentación económica sin catalogar (contratos de arrendamiento, copias de diezmos, recibís, órdenes de pago, etc.) de la Obra y Fábrica (la entidad encargada de la construcción y el mantenimiento del edificio y del culto) desde los siglos XVI al XX, en diferente formato físico, fundamentalmente papeles sueltos.
A lo largo de estos años han sido muchos los intentos para catalogar esta documentación, pero su enorme heterogeneidad y complejidad han frustrado muchos de esos intentos.
Este trabajo pretende poner en valor el estudio combinado de la contabilidad y de la estructura organizativa de una corporación religiosa como herramienta indispensable que puede ser utilizada para ordenar los expedientes económicos de un archivo eclesiástico. Este nuevo rol fortalece la posición de la Historia de la Contabilidad en el ámbito de las Ciencias Humanísticas y Sociales.
The Archive of the Toledo Cathedral hold an important number of un catalogued economic documentation (rental agreement, copies of tithe, receipt, payment orders, etc.) of the Department of construction and conservation cathedral from the 16th to the 20th centuries, with different physical format, especially loose-leaf paper. Over the years, there have been several attempts to catalogue this documentation, but its enormous heterogeneity and complexity have frustrated those attempts. This paper aims to show that the study of accounting and the organizational structure in a religious corporation is an indispensable tool that can be used to order the economic records of an ecclesiastical archive. This new role strengthens the position of Accounting History in the fields of humanities and social.
