Florentine Catasto
The Florentine Catasto of 1427 was a tax survey introduced by the Republic of Florence, which required every household in the city and its territory to declare its members, property, investments and debts. Designed to spread the burden of war taxation more fairly, it produced records of some 60,000 households that are among the richest sources for any medieval society and have been studied in detail by modern historians.
