Precedentes andalusíes en la fiscalidad de las comunidades mudéjares

Abstract

The taxes that Christian Monarchs required of their Mudejar subjects reveal that their economies were governed by the Islamic laws and Arabic uses that the Ummayad family had implanted during the eighth century and that had evolved in a manner similar to many other Islamic societies. The nexus established between Andalusian finance and Mudejar reality serves to explain the nature of the multiple taxes that the Mudejars had to pay and to cast light on the Andalusian economy, for which the Arabic sources provide little information. The relation between both tributary systems is established, defining the content of each tax.
