摘要我们评估了宗教少数群体,特别是犹太人,以及西班牙和葡萄牙宗教裁判所的其他被告的计算能力(年龄堆积),并将其与伊比利亚人口进行比较。我们的数据库包括13,000名参与宗教裁判所审判的人,以及17,000名在人口普查和教区登记中记录的人作为对照组。我们彻底讨论了我们的样本的代表性,我们的目标是捕捉的人群。我们的研究结果表明,犹太教被告在天主教占多数的一个重要的算术优势。此外,天主教神父和其他偶尔成为宗教裁判所目标的宗教精英群体也有类似的高水平算术能力。
ABSTRACT We assess the numeracy (age heaping) of religious minorities, particularly Jews, and other defendants of the Spanish and Portuguese Inquisitions, and compare it with the general Iberian population. Our database includes 13,000 individuals who took part in Inquisition trials, and 17,000 individuals recorded in censuses and parish registers who serve as a control group. We thoroughly discuss the representativeness of our samples for the populations we aim to capture. Our results point at a substantial numeracy advantage of the Judaism-accused over the Catholic majority. Furthermore, Catholic priests and other groups of the religious elite who were occasional targets of the Inquisition had a similarly high level of numeracy.
