Abstract

The article is a statistical analysis of a list of 321 ecclesiastics who were part of the lower clergy of the city of Barcelona in 1698, distributed in eleven institutions, of which seven were parishes. The document is a fiscal source that identifies the living conditions of each ecclesiastic. Therefore, it allows individual and inter-church comparisons to be made that show the great diversity of situations among the lower clergy of Barcelona and, at the same time, some singularities compared to other Spanish regions.
