Eva Serra i Puig (1942-2018), història i compromís (Congrés) (2019 : Barcelona, Catalunya)
Au sortir de la guerre civile catalane de 1462-1472, Barcelone, principale cité de Catalogne et grand port méditerranéen, entre dans une phase de reconstruction. Le roi Ferdinand le Catholique transforme les modalités d’entrée au gouvernement municipal, formalise l’accès à la noblesse et implante dans la ville une nouvelle Inquisition sous contrôle royal. Affecté également, le haut clergé cherche sa place, et les chanoines de la cathédrale en particulier tâchent d’assurer leur implantation au sein des pouvoirs urbains en recomposition. Au croisement de l’histoire canoniale et de l’histoire urbaine, cette étude montre comment, au-delà de leurs attributions religieuses, évêques et chanoines, pleinement intégrés à l’élite dirigeante de la ville, sont amenés à jouer un véritable rôle dans la vie publique d’une cité en pleine mutation.
The Crown of Aragon. A Singular Mediterranean Empire recovers the history of an empire which was of great importance in the late medieval Mediterranean, but which has since been relegated almost to oblivion by the course of history. The Crown of Aragon was a Mediterranean crossroads: between west and east for the economy, and between north and south for culture and religion, drawing in many different peoples, covering Iberia to Greece. A new vision of the Crown of Aragon as a framework of overlapping identities facilitates its historiographical recovery, showcased in the chapters of this volume which analyse the economy, institutions, social evolution, political strategy and cultural expression in literature and art of the Crown of Aragon. Contributors are David Abulafia, Lola Badia, Xavier Barral-i-Altet, Pere Benito, Maria Bonet, Jesús Brufal, Alessandra Cioppi, Damien Coulon, Luciano Gallinari, Isabel Grifoll, Adam J. Kosto, Esther Martí-Setañés, Sebastiana Nocco, Antoni Riera, Flocel Sabaté and Antoni Simon.
As language historians we believe that the subject of our study is neither natural languages nor idiolects which speakers have always been able to develop individually (loosely what Chomsky calls L-i), but rather the social constructions of reference shared by all speakers (basically what Chomsky terms as L-e ). In this context the language historian essentially studies how a public L-e is built such that it can be understood as the language of all (i.e. hiding L-i variations) and also how L-e succeed in replacing the primary reality of idiolects, even if only in the imagination. Writing represents a crucial turning point in language construction, because it made it possible to materialize t...
Modern study of the Hospitallers, of other military-religious orders, and of their activities both in the Mediterranean and in Europe has been deeply influenced by the work of Anthony Luttrell. To mark his 75th birthday in October 2007 twenty-three colleagues from ten different countries have contributed to this volume. The first section focuses on the crusading period in the Holy Land, considering the Hospital in Jerusalem, relations with the Assassins, finances, indulgences, transportation and the careers of the brothers and knights. The second and third sections move to the later Middle Ages, when the Hospitallers had their centre on Rhodes, and military and charitable activities in the E...
Quart lliurament d’un projecte destinat a posar al dia per a un públic ampli l’edició de les anomenades "quatre grans cròniques" publicada per Ferran Soldevila el 1971. El text ha estat revisat filològicament i es presenta amb ortografia modernitzada. L’abundant anotació de caràcter històric, un dels aspectes més valorats d’aquella primera edició, és aquí completada i corregida a partir de la bibliografia posterior sobre el rei Pere i la seva obra.
Aquest volum completa el projecte d’edició de les Quatre grans cròniques, a partir de la que Ferran Soldevila va preparar per a l’Editorial Selecta (1971), que la Secció Històrico-Arqueològica de l’Institut d’Estudis Catalans va aprovar el 2002 i que, després d’un llarg treball de preparació i superant un bon nombre d’entrebancs, ha anat apareixent en quatre volums, dedicats respectivament al Llibre dels feits del rei En Jaume (2007), la Crònica de Bernat Desclot (2008), la Crònica de Ramon Muntaner (2011) i la Crònica de Pere III el Cerimoniós (2014).
