Adam Almiliby

Adam Almiliby was a prominent figure in the business community of 14th-century Portugal, notable for his involvement in the financial administration of the kingdom. As a member of the Jewish community, he played a significant role in the country's economic affairs, particularly in the collection of royal taxes. In 1353, he was appointed, along with Isaac Belamy, to the position of farmer of the royal taxes by King Alfonso IV, marking a significant milestone in his career.

As a farmer of the royal taxes, Almiliby wielded considerable authority, including the power to enforce the collection of customs duties. This office also brought him certain privileges, such as exemption from wearing the Jew-badge, a symbol of his community's distinct status. During his tenure, Almiliby's efforts had a positive impact on the Jewish community in Portugal, as they were relieved of various imposts, with the exception of the poll-tax. His work in this role underscores his importance in the business and financial landscape of medieval Portugal.
