Connecting Histories
Whether forced by governmental decree, driven by persecution and economic distress, or seeking financial opportunity, the Jews of early modern Europe were extraordinarily mobile, experiencing both displacement and integration into new cultural, legal, and political settings. This, in turn, led to unprecedented modes of social mixing for Jews, especially for those living in urban areas, who frequently encountered Jews from different ethnic backgrounds and cultural orientations. Additionally, Jews formed social, economic, and intellectual bonds with mixed populations of Christians. While not necessarily effacing Jewish loyalties to local places, authorities, and customs, these connections and ...
A Companion to Latin American Legal History
This comprehensive volume offers fresh insights on Latin American and Caribbean law before European contact, during the colonial and early republican eras and up to the present. It considers the history of legal education, the legal profession, Indigenous legal history, and the legal history concerning Africans and African Americans, other enslaved peoples, women, immigrants, peasants, and workers. This book also examines the various legal frameworks concerning land and other property, commerce and business, labor, crime, marriage, family and domestic conflicts, the church, the welfare state, constitutional law and rights, and legal pluralism. It serves as a current introduction for those ne...
Clio and the Crown
Monarchs throughout the ages have commissioned official histories that cast their reigns in a favorable light for future generations. These accounts, sanctioned and supported by the ruling government, often gloss over the more controversial aspects of a king's or queen’s time on the throne. Instead, they present highly selective and positive readings of a monarch’s contribution to national identity and global affairs. In Clio and the Crown, Richard L. Kagan examines the official histories of Spanish monarchs from medieval times to the middle of the 18th century. He expertly guides readers through the different kinds of official histories commissioned: those whose primary focus was the mo...
Patent Cultures
Tracing global histories of patenting, this book reveals the resilient diversity of patent systems, challenging the universality of 'intellectual property'.
Knowledge of the Pragmatici
Knowledge of the pragmatici sheds new light on pragmatic normative literature (mainly from the religious sphere), a genre crucial for the formation of normative orders in early modern Ibero-America. Long underrated by legal historical scholarship, these media – manuals for confessors, catechisms, and moral theological literature – selected and localised normative knowledge for the colonial worlds and thus shaped the language of normativity. The eleven chapters of this book explore the circulation and the uses of pragmatic normative texts in the Iberian peninsula, in New Spain, Peru, New Granada and Brazil. The book reveals the functions and intellectual achievements of pragmatic literature, which condensed normative knowledge, drawing on medieval scholarly practices of ‘epitomisation’, and links the genre with early modern legal culture. Contributors are: Manuela Bragagnolo, Agustín Casagrande, Otto Danwerth, Thomas Duve, José Luis Egío, Renzo Honores, Gustavo César Machado Cabral, Pilar Mejía, Christoph H. F. Meyer, Osvaldo Moutin, and David Rex Galindo.
Matías Barrio y Mier (1844-1909)
Matías Barrio y Mier, jurista y político, catedrático y abogado, diputado y decano de las Facultades de Derecho de las Universidades de Oviedo y Madrid, carlista de pro, piadoso ciudadano, cacique electoral e historiador tradicionalista, fue el claro exponente de una fracción de su generación isabelina. En ella, él mismo se fraguó, luego, durante la Restauración, como un templado adalid político y entusiasta abogado defensor del conservadurismo social, el integrismo religioso, el nacionalismo monárquico dinástico de Dios, Patria, Rey y Fueros, el providencialismo y el ahistoricismo estatalistas, el uniformismo jurídico-político y la centralización administrativa. El estudio ...
Epistolario político de don Luis de Haro (Aragón, Cataluña y Andalucía, 1644-1647 - Extremadura y Portugal, 1658-1659)
Los estudios sobre el valimiento han señalado la proximidad entre el monarca y su valido como piedra angular de esta práctica de gobierno. Sin embargo, el valimiento también se construyó sobre la distancia entre ambas figuras, un fenómeno menos conocido fruto de circunstancias excepcionales. El ciclo clásico del valimiento español, iniciado por el duque de Lerma y continuado por el conde-duque de Olivares, respondió al primer modelo. Pero a partir de 1643, con don Luis de Haro, se produjo una mutación abrupta en la relación entre rey y valido. En dos ocasiones Felipe IV ordenó a Haro salir de Madrid: la primera a Andalucía (1645-1646) y la segunda a Extremadura y Portugal (1658- ...
