Francisco Giner de los Rios
During the nineteenth century, traditional Catholic Spain and its "decadent intellectual climate" was chalenged by liberal Europeanizing influences. It had happened before, but this time the status quo was threatened by Krausism, an idealistic doctrine of universal harmony and rational freedom. In the ensuing culture clash, Francisco Giner de los Rios (1839-1915), a leading exponent of Krausist thought, provided the dominant influence on Spanish intellectuals engaged in the areas of education, law, literature, and science. This outstanding contribution to Spanish cultural history by Solomon Lipp, author of Leopoldo Zea and Three Chilean Thinkers, introduces the political and philosophical reactions to Krausism through the thought and personality of the man who "dreamed one day of a new flowering of Spain"—Francisco Giner de los Rios.

Rulers and Realms in Medieval Iberia, 711-1492
The Muslim conquest of Iberia in 711 began nearly eight centuries of struggle for control of the peninsula. The invaders quickly achieved military supremacy, but political dominance was less complete. Within a few years, a small band of Christian rebels defied Muslim authority, establishing their own ruling class in the northern mountains of Asturias. The opposing forces competed for control until the Catholic Monarchs Fernando and Isabel established absolute rule in 1492. Drawing on the latest scholarship, this comprehensive study traces the succession of Iberian sovereigns during a complicated period in early European history.

Historia de Ediciones Rialp
"El objetivo de este libro es hacer la historia de una editorial nacida en los años cuarenta del siglo XX, y que permanece hasta nuestros días -son pocos los casos- como sello independiente. Es además indudable el impacto que causó con sus primeras colecciones en la vida cultural y política de España. A eso se añade que sus directivos fueron en muchos casos personas del Opus Dei, y que la idea partía del fundador de esta institución, deseoso de brindar a los lectores buenos libros, en el fondo y en la forma, que guardaran una coherencia con el pensamiento cristiano desde los más variados ámbitos de la cultura. No se trataba, por tanto, de publicar solo libros de espiritualidad, si...
A Bibliography of the Finds in the Desert of Judah, 1970-95
This volume contains a bibliography of the research on the Dead Sea Scrolls published during the last 25 years, and as such it provides scholars with an indispensable tool for further research. Although originally planned as a continuation of B. Jongeling's A Classified Bibliography of the Finds of the Desert of Judah 1958-1969, the materials are presented in a different way in order to avoid unnecessary duplications of entries. Each bibliographical entry is alphabetically listed in the first part of the book and is provided with an identification number which allows for multiple classifications. The second part offers a sophisticated classification of the materials by themes, topics and key words, but also by manuscript numbers and titles of the compositions as well as by authors.
