This book will examine the gradual assembly and consolidation of Portuguese fiscal policy in the second half of the fifteenth century, providing a comparative analysis of the Portuguese State’s finances and fiscal dynamics with other Western European monarchies.

L'étude des nombreux discours tenus par les bourgeois de Bâle, en particulier lors des mises en scène destinées à montrer l'histoire officielle de la Ville, révèle des traits opposés aux clichés traditionnellement attachés au statut de bourgeois.
