Tailors Ordinances in Cuenca (16th century)
Abstract
Trade organizations have their origin in the Middle Ages. In the 15th and 16th centuries they are endowed with ordinances that, in many cases, have reached far in time. They reflect the purpose and organization of the guilds, as well as their economic interests, and try to solve the problems that occur. The tailors’ guild of Cuenca will be one of the first to evolve from brotherhood to guild as evidenced by the text that we present here.
