Frontier Memory: Cultural Conflict and Exchange in the Romancero fronterizo.
Scholarship on the late medieval and early modern Castilian frontier ballad has tended to fall into two distinct categories: analyses which promote a view of the fronterizo corpus as an instrument of anti-Muslim, nationalist ideology in the service of the Christian Reconquest, or interpretations which favour the perception of the poems as idealizing and distinctly Islamophile in their representations of Granadan Muslims. In this study, Şizen Yiacoup offers readings of the romances fronterizos that take into consideration yet look beyond expressions of cross-cultural hostility or sympathy in order to assess the ways in which the poems recall a process of cultural exchange between Christians ...

Alfonso X, the Justinian of His Age
In this magisterial work, Joseph O'Callaghan offers a detailed account of the establishment of Alfonso X's legal code, the Libro de las leyes or Siete Partidas, and its applications in the daily life of thirteenth-century Iberia, both within and far beyond the royal courts. O'Callaghan argues that Alfonso X, el Sabio (the Wise), was the Justinian of his age, one of the truly great legal minds of human history. Alfonso X, the Justinian of His Age highlights the struggles the king faced in creating a new, coherent, inclusive, and all-embracing body of law during his reign, O'Callaghan also considers Alfonso X's own understanding of his role as king, lawgiver, and defender of the faith in order to evaluate the impact of his achievement on the administration of justice. Indeed, such was the power and authority of the Alfonsine code that it proved the king's downfall when his son invoked it to challenge his rule. Throughout this soaring legal and historical biography, O'Callaghan reminds us of the long-term impacts of Alfonso X's legal works, not just on Castilian (and later, Iberian) life, but on the administration of justice across the world.

Los epistolarios de Julián Ribera Tarragó y Miguel Asín Palacios : introducción, catálogo e índices
Se presentan los epistolarios de Julián Ribera Tarragó y Miguel Asín Palacios, dos de los más importantes arabistas españoles, que se conservan en el Centro de Ciencias Humanas y Sociales del CSIC, procedentes de la antigua Escuela de Estudios Árabes de Madrid y descubiertos en 1999. A partir de esa fecha se inició el proceso de recuperación que ahora culmina en la publicación de su catálogo, precedido de un estudio introductorio y acompañado de los correspondientes índices. Se trata de un fondo documental de gran valor para el conocimiento, no sólo de la historia del arabismo español, sino del conjunto de las humanidades en España en el período comprendido entre 1886 y 1944.
The Last Crusade in the West
By the middle of the fourteenth century, Christian control of the Iberian Peninsula extended to the borders of the emirate of Granada, whose Muslim rulers acknowledged Castilian suzerainty. No longer threatened by Moroccan incursions, the kings of Castile were diverted from completing the Reconquest by civil war and conflicts with neighboring Christian kings. Mindful, however, of their traditional goal of recovering lands formerly ruled by the Visigoths, whose heirs they claimed to be, the Castilian monarchs continued intermittently to assault Granada until the late fifteenth century. Matters changed thereafter, when Fernando and Isabel launched a decade-long effort to subjugate Granada. Uti...
