Abstract
El objetivo de este trabajo es contribuir al estudio de las pautas de consumo
de tejidos de la población catalana de la segunda mitad del siglo xvn. Para
llevarlo a cabo se ha utilizado documentación procedente de la recaudación
del impuesto de Bolla y, en especial, los libros de Manifest de Rotigues. Los
resultados han permitido definir las preferencias de la población en el consumo
de tejidos, constatar la existencia de tiendas especializadas en la distribución
de tejidos importados y en los de seda, y precisar el peso que en la oferta
tenían tanto los tejidos de producción autóctona como los de importación.
Por último, la información proporcionada por los Manifests ha posibilitado
el establecer un índice aproximado de rotación del stock en este tipo de
establecimiento.
The aim ot this paper is to contribute to the study of textile consumption patterns in Catalonia during the second half of the XVllth century. We have used the records of a tax placed on the production and trade of woollens and silk fabrics. We have examined the characteristics of both, supply and demando On the demand side, the records indicate the people's preferences in the consumption of wool and silk textiles. On to supply, we concentrated on the variety of the merchandise, and also on the differences between shops located in Barcelona and in other catalan villages. The results reveal the existence of specialized shops in the distribution of imported textiles. Furthermore, this documentation allowed us to measure the weight that both, domes tic and imported goods, had in the supply of the botigues, and to know about the turnover rate of the stock.
