ABSTRACT

The fifteenth century witnessed the birth of the first European public banks, amongst them, the Taula de Canvi of Barcelona, founded in 1401. Its almost immediate success is undeniable: the Taula soon had many and powerful clients, and the deposits made in it grew steadily. But some decades later, Barcelona was shattered by the outbreak of the Catalan Civil War (1462–1472), which had a great impact on the Taula. This paper focuses on the analysis of this crisis, as well as on how the city council of Barcelona dealt with the problems of its bank during this period of unrest, which ultimately led to the strengthening of the Taula.

巴塞罗那的 Taula de Canvi：十五世纪一家公共银行的成功与困境

摘要

15 世纪见证了第一批欧洲公共银行的诞生，其中包括成立于 1401 年的巴塞罗那Taula de Canvi。不可否认，它几乎立即取得了成功：Taula很快拥有众多强大的客户，其中的存款不断增长稳步。但几十年后，巴塞罗那因加泰罗尼亚内战（1462-1472）的爆发而破碎，这对陶拉产生了巨大影响。本文重点分析了这场危机，以及巴塞罗那市议会在动荡时期如何处理其银行的问题，这最终导致了陶拉的加强。
