Acta Conventus Neo-Latini Lovaniensis
Every third year, the members of the International Association for Neo-Latin Studies (IANLS) assemble for a week-long conference. Over the years, this event has evolved into the largest single conference in the field of Neo-Latin studies. The papers presented at these conferences offer, then, a general overview of the current status of Neo-Latin research; its current trends, popular topics, and methodologies. In 2022, the members of IANLS gathered for a conference in Leuven where 50 years ago the first of these congresses took place.This volume presents the conference’s papers which were submitted after the event and which have undergone a peer-review process. The papers deal with a broad range of fields, including literature, history, philology, and religious studies.
VARONES INSIGNES EN LETRAS NATURALES DE LA ILUSTRISIMA CIUDAD DE SEVILLA
Hacia 1647, Rodrigo Caro comenzó a reunir los materiales de un libro que dejaría inconcluso, Varones insignes en letras naturales de la ilustrísima ciudad de Sevilla, donde había de reunir las biografías de escritores hispalenses desde la Antigüedad hasta el reinado de Felipe IV. La obra pretende trazar una línea continua en la cultura sevillana desde época turdetana y romana hasta la propia contemporaneidad de Caro, cuando la ciudad de Sevilla aspiraba a ser reconocida como una nueva Roma.
The Aztecs, the Conquistadors, and the Making of Mexican Culture
Tracing events from the discovery of the New World through the fall of the Aztec empire in 1521, this book discusses the battles between the Spanish explorers and the Aztecs--battles that culminated in the ruin of a civilization. The first half of the work alternates between Aztec and Spanish history, discussing events and motivations on each side as the two cultures expanded toward one another on their way to inevitable conflict. Placing special emphasis on Aztec mythology and religious beliefs, the author explains how the Spanish exploited the Aztecs' own cultural practices to insure the success of their invasion. The gold-and-glory engines driving the Spanish Crown and the actions of contemporary Spanish explorers such as Juan Ponce de Leon and Francisco Cordoba are examined. The concluding chapters give a thorough account of the struggle between Hernan Cortes and the Aztec ruler Montezuma, including the role of other indigenous tribes in the eventual downfall of the empire. The final chapter details the siege of the Aztec capital, Tenochtitlan, and summarizes the ultimate destruction of the Aztec civilization.
Historia
Essays examine how the genre of historia reflects connections between the study of nature and the study of culture in early modern scholarly pursuits. The early modern genre of historia connected the study of nature and the study of culture from the early Renaissance to the eighteenth century. The ubiquity of historia as a descriptive method across a variety of disciplines--including natural history, medicine, antiquarianism, and philology--indicates how closely intertwined these scholarly pursuits were in the early modern period. The essays collected in this volume demonstrate that historia can be considered a key epistemic tool of early modern intellectual practices. Focusing on the actual...

La memoria de los libros. Las bibliotecas del Císter navarro hasta la Desamortización
La memoria de los libros recoge el estudio, realizado por María Isabel Ostolaza, de las bibliotecas cistercienses navarras como parte del patrimonio librario anterior a la exclaustración de los monasterios. Los inventarios realizados en las desamortizaciones decimonónicas sirven como fuente de información para la reconstrucción, en gran parte virtual, de las bibliotecas monásticas, que en su parte más interesante proceden de las antiguas bibliotecas abaciales. Se ha desentrañado el eje vertebrador de la organización de las mismas que gira en torno a la Teología y abarca materias eclesiásticas, universitarias y de ciencias humanas, naturales y sociales. La obra recoge los inventarios de las bibliotecas de los monasterios de Fitero, Leire y La Oliva, incluyendo el inventario de la biblioteca de Marcilla. La elección del tema tiene que ver con la importancia que esta Orden tuvo en el contexto político y cultural del antiguo reino, dado que sus abades formaban parte del brazo eclesiástico de las Cortes.
