The Saint and the Chopped-Up Baby
Vincent Ferrer (1350–1419), a celebrated Dominican preacher from Valencia, was revered as a living saint during his lifetime, receiving papal canonization within fifty years of his death. In The Saint and the Chopped-Up Baby, Laura Ackerman Smoller recounts the fascinating story of how Vincent became the subject of widespread devotion, ranging from the saint's tomb in Brittany to cult centers in Spain, Italy, France, Germany, and Latin America, where Vincent is still venerated today. Along the way, Smoller traces the long and sometimes contentious process of establishing a stable image of a new saint.Vincent came to be epitomized by a singularly arresting miracle tale in which a mother kil...
Possible Lives
Possible Lives uses the saints'lives written by humanists of the Italian Renaissance to explore the intertwining of classical and religious cultures on the eve of the European Reformation.

El patrimonio sucesorio. Reflexiones para un debate reformista
Parece conveniente justificar la presente obra acudiendo a su subtítulo, que denota con claridad la finalidad y el objetivo que pretendemos: “un debate reflexivo sobre el Derecho sucesorio”. Se expresa así que se trata de un enfoque ciertamente crítico sobre una materia muy necesitada de actualización y de reforma, exigencias ambas derivadas de la nueva configuración de la familia española. En orden a ello, se han tenido siempre presentes dos notas sobre las que parecía esencial desarrollar la obra. Por un lado, se ha procurado huir de un tratamiento excesivamente dogmático o conceptual de las cuestiones abordadas que, en caso contrario, quedarían alejadas tanto de la realidad s...
