Abstract

The paper deals with Varaždin’s trade at the end of the 17th century. The research is based on the analysis of two documents from the State Archives in Varaždin: the accounts of the town’s income and expenditures for 1688 and 1691. Using the quantitative method, the author seeks to re-examine the viability of the thesis of the importance of Varaždin’s trade in the regional context at the end of the 17th century. Several types of commerce are emphasized and these are selected with regard to the goods circulating at the town fairs and market. Data on the quantity, directions of import and export of goods and their value according to the amount of tax, are provided. Merchants are portrayed and categorized according to the type of trade in which they participate.
