Catasto Onciario
Details of taxation, property and debt in the register
As well as information about persons, the cadaster contains details
of property and debts. Abitanti had to pay one docato each as a head tax, and 12 once for each adult male and 7 for each youth. Tax was also raised
on land, commercial premises, stored goods and livestock. Certain
debts are recorded because these were deducted from the total
tax owed.
There is a link to the property details in the atti preliminari for this entry where the information is more detailed and appears
to relate more closely to Lionardo's own testimony
