"In Hispanojewish Archaeology, Alexander Bar-Magen Numhauser provides the first book-length archaeological exploration of the Jewish presence in late antique and early medieval Hispania. Using epigraphic, numismatic, architectural, and other archaeological remains, this volume describes the multiple cultural expressions of a vibrant Jewish community that emerged as part of the Mediterranean Diaspora, becoming part of the wider Hispanian society. Part of this review includes a detailed examination of the Ilici (Elche, Spain) basilical building, interpreted by previous scholars as both a church and a synagogue, using published and hitherto unpublished material of its decades-long excavation. From the archaeological remains of this Hispanojewish presence a new picture emerges, challenging the traditional premises of the archaeological research on the late antique western Mediterranean"--Provided by publisher.

2022 National Jewish Book Award Finalist for Sephardic Culture A fascinating study that will appeal to both culinarians and readers interested in the intersecting histories of food, Sephardic Jewish culture, and the Mediterranean world of Iberia and northern Africa. In the absence of any Jewish cookbook from the pre-1492 era, it requires arduous research and a creative but disciplined imagination to reconstruct Sephardic tastes from the past and their survival and transmission in communities around the Mediterranean in the early modern period, followed by the even more extensive diaspora in the New World. In this intricate and absorbing study, Hélène Jawhara Piñer presents readers with the dishes, ingredients, techniques, and aesthetic principles that make up a sophisticated and attractive cuisine, one that has had a mostly unremarked influence on modern Spanish and Portuguese recipes.
Os estudos historiográficos relativos ao mundo do Mediterrâneo na Antiguidade Tardia (séculos III – VIII) oferecem uma gama de abordagens que são dinâmicas e fascinantes. Este é o caso do trabalho apresentado por Ana Carolina Picoli Sotocorno como resultado de sua Dissertação de Mestrado recentemente defendida. Partindo do confronto entre as comunidades cristã nicena e judaica na Hispania romana dos primórdios do século V e lançando um olhar crítico sobre o episódio da conversão dos judeus de Minorca apresentado pelo documento legado por Severo de Minorca (418), a abordagem oferecida pela autora traz à superfície histórica debates sobre o conflito e a confrontação, ao m...
La presente investigación aborda el estudio de dos ataúdes de Bab el-Gasus del Museo Arqueológico Nacional de Madrid, el interno de Pairusejer (MAN 18253) y el externo de Ruru (MAN 18254), desde una perspectiva material y de conservación. Estos ataúdes, datados en la dinastía XXI, forman parte del gran descubrimiento en 1891 de la Segunda Cachette de Deir el Bahari (el hallazgo de 153 cajas funerarias escondidas en la orilla occidental tebana) y fueron donados por el gobierno egipcio a España en 1893. El objetivo principal de este libro es entender el estado de conservación actual de las piezas, remontándonos a su historia más reciente, que abarca desde el momento en que fueron encontradas hasta la actualidad, y que incluye sus traslados en Egipto y su llegada a Madrid en 1895. Los últimos 122 años en el museo madrileño son especialmente relevantes, al realizarse las sucesivas restauraciones, siempre vinculadas a las exposiciones del MAN, que han modelado estos ataúdes.

La presente publicación no es una clásica historia de la Iglesia ecuatoriana, aunque en la formación de la "cristiandad colonial" se tienen en cuenta las normas emanadas del poder colonial: Audiencia, concilios diocesanos, obispos, regulaciones en la aplicación del patronato real, etc. No se puede olvidar que dentro del proceso de colonización y evangelización han jugado un papel los "doctrineros" o curas de indios y los misioneros entre los pueblos de las forestas tropicales. Ellos coadyuvaron en la promoción de una nueva fe basada en el Evangelio, de nuevas concepciones éticas y morales, de complejos simbólicos culturales y de novedosos sistemas organizacionales como las cofradía...

The history of the Jews in Italy is the longest continuous one of European Jewry and lasted for more than two millennia. It started in the days of the Roman Republic and continued through the Middle Ages to Modern Times. Jewish Italy served as melting pot throughout its history, first for migrants from East to West and eventually from all over the Mediterranean littoral and beyond. Some of them moved on from Italy to other countries, while the majority stayed on in the country for generations. This volume of their history covers the first seven centuries of Jewish presence on the peninsula from the days of the Maccabees to Pope Gregory the Great. It is based on archaeological finds in Rome and elsewhere in Italy, on relevant literary and legal sources and on other records.
Hispania in Late Antiquity: Current Approaches makes recent work on late antique Hispania available to a non-specialist audience outside the Iberian peninsula. The central theme of the volume is the integration of Hispania into the larger world of the later Roman empire. The contributors – archaeologists, historians, and historians of art – treat both the historical evidence and the historiographical context that has conditioned interpretation of that evidence. Topics covered include Christianization, urbanism, villas and land tenure, trade, and military topography. Taken together, the essays in this volume present a coherent and up-to-date picture of how Spain’s late antique culture came into being, and how it was transformed in the course of the late antique centuries.
