From the beginning of the 16th century the the Va’ad HaKlali (the Mantuan Jewish Community Council) organized its financial obligations through the levying of taxes. These tax regulations chart the economic changes of Mantuan Jewry and the kinds of property and income that were taxable. Every three years taxes of the Jewish community would be reviewed after which a new set of regulations were published. See S. Simonsohn, History of the Jews in the Duchy of Mantua (1977) pp. 375-90.
