Women in Convent Spaces and the Music Networks of Early Modern Barcelona
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...
Listening to Confraternities
Listening to Confraternities offers new perspectives on the contribution of guild and devotional confraternities to the urban phonosphere based on original research and an interdisciplinary approach. Historians of art, architecture, culture, sound, music and the senses consider the ways in which, through their devotional practices, confraternities acted as patrons of music, created their identity through sound and were involved in the everyday musical experience of major cities in early modern Europe. Confraternities have been studied from many different angles, but only rarely as acoustic communities that communicated through sound and whose musical activities delimited the urban spaces in which they were active. Contributors: Nicholas Terpstra, Emanuela Vai, Ana López Suero, Henry Drummond, Ascensión Mazuela-Anguita, Ferrán Escrivà-Llorca, Noel O’Regan, Magnus Williamson, Xavier Torres Sans, Erika Honisch, Alexander Fisher, Konrad Eisenbichler, Daniele Filippi, Dylan Reid, Elisa Lessa, Antonio Ruiz Caballero, Juan Ruiz Jiménez, Sergi González González, and Tess Knighton.
Catalonia's Advocates
Offering a window into the history of the modern legal profession in Western Europe, Stephen Jacobson presents a history of lawyers in the most industrialized city on the Mediterranean. Far from being mere curators of static law, Barcelona's lawyers were at the center of social conflict and political and economic change, mediating between state, family, and society. Beginning with the resurrection of a decadent bar during the Enlightenment, Jacobson traces the historical evolution of lawyers throughout the long nineteenth century. Among the issues he explores are the attributes of the modern legal profession, how lawyers engaged with the Enlightenment, how they molded events in the Age of Re...
The Splendor and Opulence of the Past
The Splendor and Opulence of the Past traces the career of Jaume Caresmar (1717–1791), a church historian and a key figure of the Catalan Enlightenment who transcribed tens of thousands of parchments to preserve and glorify Catalonia's medieval past in the face of its diminishing autonomy. As Paul Freedman shows, Caresmar's books, essays, and transcriptions—some only recently discovered—provide fresh insights into the Middle Ages as remembered in modern Catalonia and illustrate how a nation's past glories and humiliations can inform contemporary politics and culture. From the ninth to the sixteenth centuries, Catalonia was a thriving, independent set of principalities within what would...

El vitrall medieval a Catalunya : noves aportacions :
El present volum recull les actes de la jornada d’estudi organitzada a la seu de l’Institut d’Estudis Catalans el dia 20 de juliol de 2015 amb motiu de l’acabament del cinquè i darrer volum del corpus dels vitralls medievals de Catalunya, un projecte de recerca reconegut separadament del d’Espanya dins del Corpus Vitrearum Medii Aevi (CVMA) internacional. El lector hi trobarà noves aportacions, recuperacions i restauracions fetes després o al marge de la publicació del darrer volum del Corpus català. També s’hi ha pogut incloure un recull de nous documents sobre vitralls medievals a Catalunya i s’hi ha incorporat un article de presentació de la descoberta més important feta a Catalunya durant els darrers decennis en aquest sector del patrimoni monumental: uns plafons de vitrall medieval preservats fins al 2019 darrere un retaule a la capella de Sant Martí i Sant Francesc de la catedral de Girona. Alguns d’aquests plafons són els vitralls figurats més antics conservats a Catalunya, de la primera meitat del segle xiii, quan l’estil romànic hi era encara molt arrelat, just abans que les novetats gòtiques s’imposessin en l’art del vitrall.
Manuscritos bibliográficos en la red de bibliotecas universitarias españolas (REBIUN)
Este catálogo da noticia de quinientos cincuenta manuscritos de interés bibliográfico conservados en 10 bibliotecas universitarias españolas y centros del CSIC. Fuente imprescindible para la investigación en la formación de las colecciones universitarias, así como en las diferentes situaciones, algunas trágicas, que les han afectado, son estos manuscritos en su mayoría índices, inventarios, listas de lotes fundacionales, donaciones, legados o compras, e inventarios de bibliotecas particulares, que permiten estudiar y profundizar en la historia de las bibliotecas. Desde el Grupo de Patrimonio de REBIUN invitamos a bibliógrafos, investigadores y estudiantes a utilizar este recurso con la convicción de que servirá de estímulo para desvelar, en futuro quizás no muy lejano, fuentes documentales y bibliográficas inéditas, que permitan escribir nuevas páginas de la historia de las bibliotecas españolas.
