| Resumo: | [EN] Cervera has been lucky enough to preserve an exceptional fiscal register, the one known as the Jewish Quèstia (Jewish tributes), in which there is a record of the names of the heads of household or the taxpayers of the aljama that satisfied the tribute of the same name during a substantial part of the 15th century. The data arising from this series, combined with that offered by other documents of a fiscal or financial nature, provides us with the opportunity to determine approximately the Jew population figures in the town in the 15th century and how this community evolved in demographic terms until their expulsion in 1492. This analysis discloses the fact that the aljama in Cervera managed to overcome, at least relatively, the string of misfortunes that struck the Hebrew community in the Principality of Catalonia throughout the 14th century, particularly in the assault in 1391, and which became one of the most important in the country in the 15th century. |
