Abstract

RESUMEN: La ciudad de Jerez ocupó un lugar predominante en las comarcas gaditanas a finales de la Edad Media. El crecimiento económico, asentado en los recursos procedentes de la tierra y en la proximidad al mar gracias al corredor Guadalete-Bahía de Cádiz, corrió de forma pareja a la inclusión de la ciudad en los circuitos comerciales. Hasta la fecha se ha insistido en el papel de los mercaderes foráneos –genoveses y portugueses junto con flamencos, ingleses y bretones– en relación con el mercado. En este artículo presento algunas reflexiones sobre el funcionamiento del sistema crediticio tomando en consideración el Memorial de bienes y deudas del mercader Diego de Lepe en 1517.

ABSTRACT: During the Late Middle Ages, the city of Jerez de la Frontera (Spain) played a pivotal role in the region of Cadiz. The economical growth of the city, based on local natural resources and its proximity to the sea, made it possible for the city to be part of international commercial networks. In recent years many studies have been made of the role of foreign merchants –Genoese, Portuguese, Flemish, English or Breton– in local commerce. This paper presents an overview of the structure and function of the credit system, using as a case study the Memorial de bienes y deudas of the merchant Diego de Lepe (1517).
