An Economic History of the Iberian Peninsula, 700-2000
This is a comprehensive long-run history of economic and political change in the Iberian Peninsula. Beginning with the development of the old medieval kingdoms, it goes on to explore two countries, Portugal and Spain, which during the early modern period possessed vast empires and played an essential role in the global economic and political developments. It traces how and why both countries began to fall behind during the first stages of industrialization and modern economic growth only to achieve remarkable economic development during the second half of the twentieth century. Written by a team of leading historians, the book sheds new light on all aspects of economic history from population, agriculture, manufacturing and international trade to government, finance and welfare. The book include extensive new data and will be an essential work of reference for scholars of Portugal and Spain and also of comparative European economic development.

Ecclesiastics and political state building in the Iberian monarchies, 13th-15th centuries
The project "The European Dimension of a Group of Power: Ecclesiastics and the political State Building of the Iberian Monarchies (13th-15th centuries)” supported by the Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia assembled an inter-university team, that brought together researchers from five Portuguese universities and three Spanish universities, as well as consultants from three different universities. The book now being published is one of the outcomes of the work undertaken by the Iberian inter-university team. It confirms the possibilities opened up by teamwork and compared perspectives, as well as the need to pursue this approach in order to clarify the circumstances and conditionalities of a relationship from which both sides benefited. Thus the studies gathered here seek to return to the question of the Church's and clerics' contribution to the construction of royalty, approaching the peninsular context in a comparative way and analysing that contribution on different levels.
The Marrano Factory
First published in Portuguese in 1969, this is the only work by Antonio Jose Saraiva available in English and the only single-volume history devoted primarily to the working of the Portuguese Inquisition, a most lucid and compact survey. "The Marrano Factory" argues that the Portuguese Inquisition s stated intention of extirpating heresies and purifying Portuguese Catholicism was a monumental hoax; the true purpose of the Holy Office was the fabrication rather than the destruction of "Judaizers."

Os Regimentos de Évora e de Arraiolos do Século XV
Nos anos oitenta do século XIX, Gabriel Pereira publicava, pela primeira vez, os «Documentos Históricos da Cidade de Évora». Nessa colectânea, o autor recolhia alguns dos mais importantes documentos para a história da cidade dispersos, em especial, pelos arquivos locais e, na sua maior parte, inéditos. Entre os vários documentos coligidos por Gabriel Pereira cabe destacar o chamado Regimentos da Cidade de Évora incluído na primeira parte dos Documentos e que aqui, de novo, se apresenta, em conjunto com o original incluído no Arquivo Municipal de Arraiolos. Sendo este último normalmente identificado como sendo uma cópia do primeiro, a publicação conjunta dos dois textos permite uma análise comparativa que aqui é iniciada. Da mesma forma a sua publicação conjunta e o estudo de alguns elementos internos contidos no texto relativo a Évora, nomeadamente no que se refere à identificação dos regedores mencionados, permitiu-nos rever a data proposta até agora para a sua nomeação.
