It would seem unlikely that one could discover tolerant religious attitudes in Spain, Portugal, and the New World colonies during the era of the Inquisition, when enforcement of Catholic orthodoxy was widespread and brutal. Yet this groundbreaking book does exactly that. Drawing on an enormous body of historical evidence—including records of the Inquisition itself—the historian Stuart Schwartz investigates the idea of religious tolerance and its evolution in the Hispanic world from 1500 to 1820. Focusing on the attitudes and beliefs of common people rather than those of intellectual elites, the author finds that no small segment of the population believed in freedom of conscience and rejected the exclusive validity of the Church. The book explores various sources of tolerant attitudes, the challenges that the New World presented to religious orthodoxy, the complex relations between “popular” and “learned” culture, and many related topics. The volume concludes with a discussion of the relativist ideas that were taking hold elsewhere in Europe during this era.
This book offers a diversification model of transplanted languages that facilitates the exploration of external factors and internal changes. The general context is the New World and the variety that unfolded in the Central Highlands and the Gulf of Mexico, herein identified as Mexican Colonial Spanish (MCS). Linguistic corpora provide the evidence of (re)transmission, diffusion, metalinguistic awareness, and select focused variants. The tridimensional approach highlights language data from authentic colonial documents which are connected to socio-historical reliefs at particular periods or junctions, which explain language variation and the dynamic outcome leading to change. From the Second...
En vísperas de su incorporación a la Corona, las jurisdicciones señoriales, con marcado predominio de las seculares, cubrían las tres cuartas partes de la provincia-reino de Valencia, acompañadas con frecuencia, a raíz de la expulsión de los moriscos, del elemento solariego. Sin embargo, las tierras valencianas constituyen una excepción muy notoria en la regla general de que las propiedades de la nobleza son más nutridas en aquellas provincias de mayor porcentaje señorial bajo el Antiguo Régimen. Este libro analiza las peculiaridades del régimen señorial valenciano que explican una evolución tan singular, concediendo especial atención: a la presencia, tras la conquista cristia...
