Abstract


From the information obtained from a detailed fiscal census dated 1483, as well as from the notarial documents of the period and from various municipal documents, diverse aspects of the life of the Jews of the city of Ávila at the end of the 15th century are disclosed, namely fiscal discrimination, demographic ratio, professional structure, high level of professional distribution among the Christians, the Jews and the Muslims of Ávila, and the masculine and feminine first names of this group. A hypothesis is also advanced to explain why the most numerous Jewish community of the kingdom of Castile gathered together in Ávila on the eve of their expulsion.
