Historia de la España Medieval
[4.ª ed. 2023] El proyecto de Historia de España Digital de la Universidad de Salamanca se estructura en varias etapas, concretadas en otros tantos volúmenes. El que ahora ofrecemos es el referido al período medieval, que lleva por título Historia de la España medieval. Este coordinador piensa que no merece siquiera justificar la idoneidad de un título que incluye un término, España, ante el que algunos todavía muestran reticencias. Es sabido que estas han nacido de prejuicios aventurados y puramente ideológicos o bien de un desconocimiento tanto de la propia Edad Media y sus discursos de identidad colectiva como de la tradición historiográfica contemporánea.

The Power of Cities
The Power of Cities is an interdisciplinary, cultural-comparative volume on Iberian urban studies. It is the first attempt to bring together recent research on the transformation of Iberian cities from Late Antiquity to the 18th century combining archaeological and historical sources.
Propaganda and (un)covered identities in treatises and sermons: Christians, Jews, and Muslims in the premodern Mediterranean
The eleven essays included in this collective volume examine a range of textual genres produced by Christians and Muslims throughout the Mediterranean, including materials from the Corpus Islamolatinum, Christian propaganda and polemical works targeting Muslims and Jews, Inquisition records, and Christian and Muslim sermons.

The Land Is Mine
Based on the biblical commentaries of rabbis and writers who were exiled from Spain in 1492, The Land Is Mine presents late medieval and early modern Iberian Jewish intellectuals as deeply concerned with questions about human relationships to land.
Order and Chivalry
Knighthood and chivalry are commonly associated with courtly aristocracy and military prowess. Instead of focusing on the relationship between chivalry and nobility, Jesús D. Rodríguez-Velasco asks different questions. Does chivalry have anything to do with the emergence of an urban bourgeoisie? If so, how? And in a more general sense, what is the importance of chivalry in inventing and modifying a social class? In Order and Chivalry, Rodríguez-Velasco explores the role of chivalry in the emergence of the middle class in an increasingly urbanized fourteenth-century Castile. The book considers how secular, urban knighthood organizations came to life and created their own rules, which diffe...
Élites, conflictos y discursos políticos en las ciudades bajomedievales de la Península Ibérica
"El presente libro contiene las contribuciones al Coloquio 'Elites, conflictos y discursos políticos en las ciudades bajomedievales de la Península Ibérica', celebrado en Salamanca en otoño de 2017. Grandes especialistas en estas temáticas en diferentes ámbitos geográficos de la Península Ibérica abordan varias cuestiones a propósito de las relaciones de poder y los conflictos entre nobleza y ciudades en la Baja Edad Media. Los diferentes estratos de aristocracia urbana y sus organizaciones sociales, su influencia sobre el entorno, la relación de los grupos urbanos con la alta nobleza, la violencia, la formación de bandos y los discursos políticos, son, entre otros, algunos de los temas abordados en el libro" -- Contracoberta.
Spoken Word and Social Practice
Spoken Word and Social Practice: Orality in Europe (1400-1700) aims to recapture words spoken in medieval and early modern times, tracking women’s voices, on trial, or bantering and gossiping, and tracing those of princes, priests, and magistrates, townsmen, villagers, mariners, bandits, and songsmiths.
