In Order and Disorder: The Poor Clares between Foundation and Reform, Bert Roest provides an up-to-date and comprehensive history of the Poor Clares from their early beginnings until the sixteenth century.
"Ultimately, I propose that considering internalization as embodiment is a critical methodological shift in understanding mystical methods in general, and especially for probing recollection mysticism in depth. The inner man as opposed to the outer man is a Pauline and Lutheran commonplace that is too frequently taken out of context, leading historians of the Renaissance in general, and of Spanish Renaissance religion in particular, to value references to internal (or mental) methods of spirituality as an improvement over external (or bodily) rituals. This book takes its cue from the recent 'cognitive turn' in medieval studies that complicates studies of the body in religion by focusing on t...
La obra aborda las relaciones mantenidas entre el poder laico –monarquía, nobleza y oligarquías urbanas– con los monasterios de las diversas órdenes religiosas y sus comunidades en la Castilla bajomedieval (c. 1284- 1474). En la primera parte se analiza el mecenazgo de los distintos grupos de poder a través del patrocinio de fundaciones y refundaciones y la concesión de privilegios y donaciones a los monasterios. La segunda parte se centra en el análisis del papel socioeconómico del monasterio y de sus comunidades en hechos del ciclo vital de los poderosos y su labor en la política y en los conflictos del momento. Finalmente, en la última de las partes se expone el papel de los monasterios y sus religiosos en los albores del fallecimiento de los poderosos, como lugares de sepultura y a través del encargo de oficios litúrgicos perpetuos. Todo ello condujo a que las relaciones entre el poder laico, los monasterios y sus religiosos, que comenzaron desde los primeros estadios de sus vidas, no concluyesen con sus decesos, sino que continuasen por siempre jamás.
The canon of Hispanic mysticism is expanding. No longer is our picture of this special brand of early modern devotional practice limited to a handful of venerable saints. Instead, we recognize a wide range of marginal figures as practitioners of mysticism, broadly defined. Neither do we limit the study of mysticism necessarily to the Christian religion, nor even to the realm of literature. Representations of mysticism are also found in the visual, plastic and musical arts. The terminology and theoretical framework of mysticism permeate early modern Hispanic cultures. Paradoxically, by taking a more inclusive approach to studying mysticism in its marginal manifestations, we draw mysticism---in all its complex iterations---back toward its rightful place at the center of early modern spiritual experience.

El Seminario de Identidad, Cultura y Religiosidad Popular de la facultad de Humanidades de Toledo se dedica, entre otras cosas, al estudio de los espacios sagrados. Aquí se aborda un tema tan amplio como el del espacio sagrado limitado a un solo lugar, la ciudad de Toledo y su entorno, analizado desde el punto de vista de la historia, la arqueología, la historia del arte y la antropología, a cargo de especialistas en el tema, de la ciudad y de fuera de ella-
Inspired by current debates around political confrontation and the exercise of power, Fabrizio Titone offers an interpretation based on the concept of disciplined dissent. This interpretation is centred on the notion of diffused power and is designed to transcend the binary distinction consensus/resistance. The aim is to identify the conservative process involved in mounting a critique, a protest, through which those who object may have intercepted and then deployed on their own account the cultural repertoire of those in a position of authority. This was with a view to obtaining a hearing, or even influencing the activities of the government and decentering the exercise of power. The essays...
This book presents the first study of music in convent life in a single Hispanic city, Barcelona, during the early modern era. Exploring how convents were involved in the musical networks operating in sixteenth-century Barcelona, it challenges the invisibility of women in music history and reveals the intrinsic role played by nuns and lay women in the city’s urban musical culture. Drawing on a wide range of archival sources, this innovative study offers a cross-disciplinary approach that not only reveals details of the rich musical life in Barcelona’s nunneries, but shows how they took part in wider national and transnational networks of musical distribution, including religious, commerc...
