Sammanfattning:Very little is known about the organisation and remuneration of labour within the Barcelona guilds during the final stages of the Old Regime. The same applies to the practice of apprenticeship and the access to the position of master, as well as to the role of the wives and daughters of masters in the workshops and in the management of inputs and outputs that passed through their hands. This paper is a first approach to these issues with the case study of the silk weavers. Notary documents have been the main sources for this article.
