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...

Josep Milà L’amor a la muntanya neix fins i tot en temps de guerra
Josep Milà va desenvolupar la seva carrera excursionista en els anys més foscos del franquisme, quan la pràctica d'aquesta activitat adquiria un caràcter polític força marcat. Represaliat pel règim per expressar el seu sentiment catalanista dalt dels cims del Pirineu, va seguir sortint a la muntanya fins i tot en contra de la prohibició d'algunes institucions. El context excursionista en què va viure li va impedir tenir una gran carrera esportiva, però ja de gran va poder dur a la pràctica alguns dels seus somnis. En aquest llibre explica en primera persona la seva vida excursionista, amb un llenguatge planer, tal com l'ha sentida, en converses mantingudes a casa seva. És, sens dubte, un document històric prou important per formar part d'aquesta història dels pioners excursionistes a Catalunya.
Universities and Science in the Early Modern Period
This book includes most of the contributions presented at a conference on “Univ- sities and Science in the Early Modern Period” held in 1999 in Valencia, Spain. The conference was part of the “Five Centuries of the Life of the University of Valencia” (Cinc Segles) celebrations, and from the outset we had the generous support of the “Patronato” (Foundation) overseeing the events. In recent decades, as a result of a renewed attention to the institutional, political, social, and cultural context of scienti?c activity, we have witnessed a reappraisal of the role of the universities in the construction and development of early modern science. In essence, the following conclusions have...
