Abstract
El autor analiza en este trabajo el papel del crédito en las operaciones de venta de lanas realizadas en la región soriana durante los siglos XVI y XVII por los grandes y pequeños propietarios de ganado. Demuestra que los pequeños propietarios siempre contrataban la venta de sus lanas varios meses antes de su entrega para recibir préstamos de dinero de los mercaderes. Prueba que durante el siglo XVI los grandes señores de ganado habitualmente vendieron sus lanas concediendo largos aplazamientos de pago a los mercaderes compradores, a cambio de obtener para las mismas precios muy elevados. Y por fin pone de manifiesto que en el transcurso del siglo XVII estos grandes señores de ganado tuvieron que hacer frente a crecientes dificultades económicas, que les forzaron a solicitar con creciente frecuencia préstamos para atender los gastos de sus explotaciones ganaderas.
In this article the author pays attention to the role of credit in the negotiation of wool sales by big and small flockowners in the region of Soria during the sixteenth and the seventeenth centuries. He proves that the small flockowners always sold their wool several months in advance of its delivery, in order to borrow money from the merchants that bought it. Next he proves that during the sixteenth century the big flockowners usually sold their wool to the merchants on conditions and could delay the payment for a long period of time; they also obtained favourable very good prices for their products. Finally he proves that in the course of the seventeenth century the big flockowners of Soria had to face increasing financial difficulties that forced them to borrow money with increasing frequency in order to be able to preserve their flocks.
