Economic History of Spain
This comprehensive account of the economic development of Spain, available for the first time in English, is generally regarded as a major achievement in Spanish historiography. It covers the entire history of Spain's economic and social evolution from prehistoric times to the end of the nineteenth century. The book originated from lectures given at the University of Barcelona by Jaime Vicens Vives, who has been called Spain’s greatest historian in recent decades. Aware of all the major interpretations of Spanish history, the author draws upon the recent research of Spanish, French, and American historians; yet to the overall picture he gives his own imprint. Originally published in 1969. ...
Jaume Vicens Vives, mestre d'historiadors
L'any 2010 es commemora el centenari del naixement de l'historiador Jaume Vicens Vives, i la Universitat de Barcelona i el Centre d'Estudis Històrics Internacional fundat per ell han volgut retre-li homenatge i reconeixement. Aquest volum vol ser una aproximació a la complexa i rica figura de Jaume Vicens per la via dels testimonis, la memòria i els records, reunint les aportacions d'aquells que el van conèixer en l'exercici de la seva cÃtedra universitÃria com a professor, aixÃ- com a través de les diverses iniciatives que va endegar per tal d'assegurar la renovació de la ciència històrica en general i de la historiografia catalana en particular. Els articles, escrits per persones significades de l'Ãmbit cultural, posen l'èmfasi en aspectes ben diferents, des d'experiències acadèmiques fins a vivències personals. El retrat que dibuixen les aportacions tenen un denominador comú: el reconeixement d'un referent i la indiscutible empenta que Vicens els inoculÃ, encomanant-los el seu optimisme vital i engrescant-los a creure que, malgrat els temps difÃ-cils que els va tocar de viure, el futur arribaria ple d'esperança.

Living on the Edge
This volume addresses the widespread medieval phenomenon of transgression as both a result of and the cause for the exclusion and persecution of those who were considered different. It is widely accepted that the essence of a manuscript cannot be fully grasped without studying its marginalia. Glosses sit on the margins of the text and clarify it, adding a whole new dimension to it and becoming an inextricable part of its content. Similarly, no society can be fully understood without knowledge of what lies on its margins, for the outliers of any given culture provide us with just as much information as its alleged foundational principles. In a time when the Western world ponders building walls up against perceived threats and frightening differences, this multidisciplinary collection of essays based on original and innovative pieces of research shows that it was mostly through tearing down walls that we learned our way forward.
