Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is an analysis of the mediaeval fiscal vocabulary in the works of Christine de Pizan, including Le Livre des fais et bonnes meurs du sage roy Charles V, Le Livre de la Paix, and Le Livre du corps de Policie. The topics discussed include the various types of tax and the complexity of the feudal fiscal system. The richness of the fiscal terms and the resulting lack of terminological precision illustrate the extent of the complexity of that system.
