A Companion to Medieval and Early Modern Confraternities
After the State and the Church, the most well organized membership system of medieval and early modern Europe was the confraternity. In cities, towns, and villages it would have been difficult for someone not to be a member of a confraternity, the recipient of its charity, or aware of its presence in the community. In A Companion to Medieval and Early Modern Confraternities, Konrad Eisenbichler brings together an international group of scholars to examine confraternities from various perspectives: their origins and development, their devotional practices, their charitable activities, and their contributions to literature, music, and art. The result is a picture of confraternities as important venues for the acquisition of spiritual riches, material wealth, and social capital. Contributors to this volume: Alyssa Abraham, Davide Adamoli, Christopher F. Black, Dominika Burdzy, David D’Andrea, Konrad Eisenbichler, Anna Esposito, Federica Francesconi, Marina Gazzini, Jonathan Glixon, Colm Lennon, William R. Levin, Murdo J. MacLeod, Nerida Newbigin, Dylan Reid, Gervase Rosser, Nicholas Terpstra, Paul Trio, Anne-Laure Van Bruaene, Beata Wojciechowska, and Danilo Zardin.
Evidence in the Age of the New Sciences
The motto of the Royal Society—Nullius in verba—was intended to highlight the members’ rejection of received knowledge and the new place they afforded direct empirical evidence in their quest for genuine, useful knowledge about the world. But while many studies have raised questions about the construction, reception and authentication of knowledge, Evidence in the Age of the New Sciences is the first to examine the problem of evidence at this pivotal moment in European intellectual history. What constituted evidence—and for whom? Where might it be found? How should it be collected and organized? What is the relationship between evidence and proof? These are crucial questions, for wha...
Sacred Habitat
Known as a time of revolutions in science, the early modern era in Europe was characterized by the emergence of new disciplines and ways of thinking. Taking this conceit a step further, Sacred Habitat shows how Spanish friars and missionaries used new scholarly approaches, methods, and empirical data from their studies of ecology to promote Catholic goals and incorporate American nature into centuries-old church traditions. Ran Segev examines the interrelated connections between Catholicism and geography, cosmography, and natural history—fields of study that gained particular prominence during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries—and shows how these new bodies of knowledge provided in...
Sobre religión y cultura en el México virreinal
En la historia de la cultura mexicana siempre han coexistido la religión y la cultura, ya que está en entredicho la convivencia de la fe y la razón; de ahí el interés por dar a conocer de qué manera, durante el virreinato, las autoridades civiles y eclesiásticas se sirvieron de diversos métodos pastorales para fomentar la fe cristiana.
Publishers, Censors and Collectors in the European Book Trade, 1650–1750
This edited volume explores the development of the European book world between 1650 and 1750, concentrating on changes in publishing strategies, practices of censorship, the circulation of second-hand books and the building of libraries. Its essays discuss this critical, but much neglected period of print history through case studies from Spain, Italy, France, the Holy Roman Empire, Britain and the Netherlands. Ranging from the posthumous publication of Galileo to the regulation of the book auction market, this volume demonstrates that the century between 1650 and 1750 was a transformative period for the history of the printed book.
Experiencias y testimonios etnohistóricos
Cuando se culmina un proyecto de investigación antropológica o histórica, pocas veces se conoce la información sobre su origen y desarrollo, o las circunstancias y experiencias personales y profesionales de sus autores, desde el inicio del proceso de su elaboración hasta la redacción final del libro. Esta obra es un verdadero testimonio de las vivencias de cada uno de los protagonistas.
Análisis etnohistórico de códices y documentos coloniales
En este libro se presenta la localización del traslado de un pindecuario o libro manuscrito con información sobre las costumbres, las fiestas y las obligaciones religiosas de Charapan, una de las repúblicas purépechas más importantes durante el virreinato.
Normativas para sanar el cuerpo y purificar el alma
El tema central de este libro es demostrar la importancia de conocer el papel que jugaron los sacramentos a lo largo de la vida de todo católico en la Nueva España, puesto que estuvieron presentes desde el nacimiento, la reproducción misma y hasta la muerte. Se analizan a partir de distintas fuentes eclesiásticas normativas, principalmente en las discusiones llevadas a cabo en las Juntas Eclesiásticas de la primera mitad del siglo xvi.
Entre el cielo y la tierra
Los artículos escritos por connotados etnohistoriadores e historiadores abordan la corporación cofraderil en sus aspectos socioeconómico, político, pero, también, respecto de la religiosidad popular, la multietnicidad y el género en la abigarrada sociedad colonial. Así, se hace inteligible la acción e interacción de las castas: indios, negros, mestizos, españoles y de las mujeres, de cuya actividad formal había escasos registros. La publicación de este libro constituye, sin duda, un aporte sustancial a la historiografía del fenómeno socioreligioso en América
