Tax assessments provide unique information about the individual and relative wealth of early modern individuals and communities, but few such sources exist for early modern Ireland, so the survival of a tax assessment for the most prosperous inhabitants of Clonmel in 1642 is a unique source for the study of the town’s economic community in that year. An analysis of the tax paid by these men and women provides not merely unrivalled information about their personal wealth but also about the relative prosperity of different occupation groups, including merchants, craftsmen and women, the most important sectors of the local economy and settlement patterns in one early modern Irish town.

重建早期现代爱尔兰经济共同体

税收评估提供了关于早期现代个人和社区的个人和相对财富的独特信息，但现代早期的爱尔兰很少有这样的信息来源，因此 1642 年克朗梅尔最富裕居民的税收评估的存在是当年对该镇经济共同体的研究。对这些男人和女人缴纳的税款的分析不仅提供了有关他们个人财富的无与伦比的信息，而且还提供了不同职业群体的相对繁荣程度，包括商人、工匠和妇女，当地经济中最重要的部门和定居模式。一个早期的现代爱尔兰小镇。
