Matías Barrio y Mier (1844-1909)
Matías Barrio y Mier, jurista y político, catedrático y abogado, diputado y decano de las Facultades de Derecho de las Universidades de Oviedo y Madrid, carlista de pro, piadoso ciudadano, cacique electoral e historiador tradicionalista, fue el claro exponente de una fracción de su generación isabelina. En ella, él mismo se fraguó, luego, durante la Restauración, como un templado adalid político y entusiasta abogado defensor del conservadurismo social, el integrismo religioso, el nacionalismo monárquico dinástico de Dios, Patria, Rey y Fueros, el providencialismo y el ahistoricismo estatalistas, el uniformismo jurídico-político y la centralización administrativa. El estudio ...
La Segunda Carolina. El Nuevo Código de Leyes de las Indias
En 1681 Carlos II autorizó la impresión de la recopilación de las Leyes de Indias. Constaban de 9 libros en 4 tomos que compilaron las fuentes del derecho de indias por materias, con arreglo a un criterio cronológico. Una compilación como ésta generó problemas porque envejeció con rapidez; en 1714 el Consejo de Indias advirtió a Felipe V que, por el volumen de la obra legislativa, se debían añadir dos libros más, y que existía confusión sobre la prelación de fuentes y sobre el derecho vigente. El 9 de mayo de 1776, Carlos III ordenó la formación de un Nuevo Código de Indias que se conoce como la Segunda Carolina. La Corona designó una Junta de Ministros- Consejeros que, ...
Estudios de Instituciones Hispano-Indianas (tomo I)
El autor realiza una recopilación de trabajos publicados en distintas fuentes, especialmente en el Anuario de Historia del Derecho Español y en las Actas y Estudios de congresos organizados por el Instituto Internacional de Historia del Derecho Indiano. Los trece capítulos que integran la obra configuran dos tomos. En el primero, el autor efectúa el análisis de la evolución histórica de la Real Audiencia en Indias, y toma como modelo para ello la Real Audiencia de los Confines o de Guatemala y Nicaragua, la cual es expuesta en su evolución desde el siglo XVI hasta el XIX: sus sedes, cambios en la extensión territorial y presidentes. El primer presidente fue Alonso Maldonado en...
The Diplomatic Enlightenment
Eighteenth-century Spain drew on the Enlightenment to reconfigure its role in the European balance of power. As its force and its weight declined, Spanish thinkers discouraged war and zealotry and pursued peace and cooperation to reconfigure the international Spanish Empire.
"Lazy, Improvident People"
Since the early modern era, historians and observers of Spain, both within the country and beyond it, have identified a peculiarly Spanish disdain for work, especially manual labor, and have seen it as a primary explanation for that nation's alleged failure to develop like the rest of Europe. In "Lazy, Improvident People," the historian Ruth MacKay examines the origins of this deeply ingrained historical prejudice and cultural stereotype. MacKay finds these origins in the ilustrados, the Enlightenment intellectuals and reformers who rose to prominence in the late eighteenth century. To advance their own, patriotic project of rationalization and progress, they disparaged what had gone before....
We, the King
Reveals how ordinary subjects in the New World aided and abetted law-making in the Spanish Empire.
The Formation and Transmission of Western Legal Culture
This volume surveys 150 law books of fundamental importance in the history of Western legal literature and culture. The entries are organized in three sections: the first dealing with the transitional period of fifteenth-century editions of medieval authorities, the second spanning the early modern period from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century, and the third focusing on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The contributors are scholars from all over the world. Each ‘old book’ is analyzed by a recognized specialist in the specific field of interest. Individual entries give a short biography of the author and discuss the significance of the works in the time and setting of their p...
The Enlightenment on Trial
The principal protagonists of this history of the Enlightenment are non-literate, poor, and enslaved colonial litigants who began to sue their superiors in the royal courts of the Spanish empire. With comparative data on civil litigation and close readings of the lawsuits, The Enlightenment on Trial explores how ordinary Spanish Americans actively produced modern concepts of law.
"Another Jerusalem"
In ‘Another Jerusalem’: Political Legitimacy and Courtly Government in the Kingdom of New Spain (1535-1568) José-Juan López-Portillo offers a new approach to understanding why the most densely populated and culturally sophisticated regions of Mesoamerica accepted the authority of Spanish viceroys. By focusing on the routines and practices of quotidian political life in New Spain, and the ideological affinities that bound indigenous and non-indigenous political communities to the viceregal regime, López Portillo discloses the formation of new loyalties, interests and identities particular to New Spain. Rather than the traditional view of European colonial domination over a demoralized indigenous population, New Spain now appears as Mexico City’s sub-empire: an aggregate of the Habsburg ‘composite monarchy’. "Embellished with wonderful illustrations, this work draws upon extensive secondary and primary sources. Scholars studying Spain's America will find it a thoughtful addition to historical literature on 16th-century New Spain." - M. A. Burkholder, University of Missouri - St. Louis, in: CHOICE, July 2018 Vol. 55 No. 11
