Description
Spain had struck maravedís for five centuries under names and values that changed repeatedly, and by the eighteenth century nobody could read a medieval contract and say what the sum meant. Pedro de Cantos Benítez went to the charters, laws and pragmáticas and reconstructed the series: what each coin contained, what it was worth, and how to convert it into current money. It is the founding work of Spanish numismatic economics, and it is still the reason a historian can put a price in a fifteenth-century document into any kind of perspective. Dedicated to the Royal Council of Castile. This is a faithful print-on-demand facsimile of the 1763 Madrid edition, reproduced in full from a library copy. The historical text is reproduced without modification; only the format, margins and legibility have been reset for modern printing.
