The handbooks for Confessors have got great value for historians, since they reveal the most common behaviours in medieval society. In the field of economy, these books devote considerable space to the problem of usury. This concept goes beyond the loan at an interes rate (public usury) and includes several deals which hid public usury under different appereances (hidden usury). This was made through frauds in the loans, resale of products or the rental. In this article we will study the handbooks which were present in medieval Castile.Downloads
