  • Tithe-collection in the Venetian Peloponnese 1696–1705

  • The tithe was the most important source of revenue for the Venetian government in the Morea. The initial practice of farming out the collection of the tax each year to private individuals was later partially replaced by a system reminiscent of Ottoman practice, whereby the village communities became responsible for their own tithe. This policy encouraged the villages to negotiate directly with the provincial authorities, but met with limited success. The article concludes that the system failed in terms of both its primary aim of recovering sufficient revenue for the regional government and the secondary aim of conciliating the Greek population.
