The Taula de Canvis Table of Valencia (15th-17th Century). The Municipal Bank of the Western Mediterranean

Abstract

The conference is based on the regulations that regulated the characteristics of the Valencia Taula and the fundamental aspects of its management, such as: governance, operation, accounting, auditing, closing and definition of accounts. All of which constitutes a little-known intangible cultural heritage in this city. It is developed through three sections: first, by way of introduction, the municipal banks or taules of the Western Mediterranean from the 15th to the 17th centuries; second, the Primitiva Taula of Valencia (1407-1416), and third, the Nova Taula (1517-1649). Following the temporal division of the Taula de Canvis made by the Valencian chronicler Salvador Carreres, in 1957.
