The Gibraltar Crusade
The epic battle for control of the Strait of Gibraltar waged by Castile, Morocco, and Granada in the late thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries is a major, but often overlooked, chapter in the history of the Christian reconquest of Spain. After the Castilian conquest of Seville in 1248 and the submission of the Muslim kingdom of Granada as a vassal state, the Moors no longer loomed as a threat and the reconquest seemed to be over. Still, in the following century, the Castilian kings, prompted by ideology and strategy, attempted to dominate the Strait. As self-proclaimed heirs of the Visigoths, they aspired not only to reconstitute the Visigothic kingdom by expelling the Muslims from Spai...

Ocasión ilustrada del fuero real. Las ediciones de 1781 y 1836
Se estudian en este libro dos procesos editoriales emprendidos en las últimas décadas del siglo XVIII y que tuvieron por objeto la publicación del Fuero Real, libro de leyes elaborado por Alfonso X a mediados del siglo XIII, vigente y muy vivo todavía cinco siglos después de su redacción. En 1779 se estimó que podía ser útil poner de nuevo en circulación estas leyes medievales del mismo modo en el que se habían venido imprimiendo desde principios de los siglos modernos, pero las nuevas concepciones ilustradas interfirieron en el plan original y lo modificaron sin lograr alterarlo sustancialmente. Con arreglo a esas ideas ilustradas se puso en marcha en 1794 una nueva empresa editorial que incluía la publicación del Fuero Real, pero la dilación del proceso, culminado en 1836, y las mismas circunstancias históricas en las que hubo de desarrollarse hicieron de nuevo que el resultado no pudiera adecuarse al plan originario.
