The Splendor and Opulence of the Past
The Splendor and Opulence of the Past traces the career of Jaume Caresmar (1717–1791), a church historian and a key figure of the Catalan Enlightenment who transcribed tens of thousands of parchments to preserve and glorify Catalonia's medieval past in the face of its diminishing autonomy. As Paul Freedman shows, Caresmar's books, essays, and transcriptions—some only recently discovered—provide fresh insights into the Middle Ages as remembered in modern Catalonia and illustrate how a nation's past glories and humiliations can inform contemporary politics and culture. From the ninth to the sixteenth centuries, Catalonia was a thriving, independent set of principalities within what would...

Women in Convent Spaces and the Music Networks of Early Modern Barcelona
This book presents the first study of music in convent life in a single Hispanic city, Barcelona, during the early modern era. Exploring how convents were involved in the musical networks operating in sixteenth-century Barcelona, it challenges the invisibility of women in music history and reveals the intrinsic role played by nuns and lay women in the city’s urban musical culture. Drawing on a wide range of archival sources, this innovative study offers a cross-disciplinary approach that not only reveals details of the rich musical life in Barcelona’s nunneries, but shows how they took part in wider national and transnational networks of musical distribution, including religious, commerc...
Estat, patrons i obrers davant la modernització de les relacions laborals. La Junta de Reformes Socials de Mataró (1900-1923)
Creades per la Llei de 13 de març de 1900 sobre les condicions de treball de les dones i dels nens, les Juntes de Reformes Socials tenen la virtut d’haver contribuït a un procés d’articulació organitzativa de patrons i obrers força més estable que l’existent fins llavors en el món del treball. Van ser els primers organismes paritaris entre obrers i patrons, amb intervenció de l’Estat, per tal de negociar la conflictivitat laboral, la legislació sociolaboral i l’aplicació d’aquesta.
Saints as Intercessors between the Wealthy and the Divine
Offering snapshots of mercantile devotion to saints in different regions, this volume is the first to ask explicitly how merchants invoked saints, and why. Despite medieval and modern stereotypes of merchants as godless and avaricious, medieval traders were highly devout – and rightly so. Overseas trade was dangerous, and merchants’ commercial activities were seen as jeopardizing their souls. Merchants turned to saints for protection and succor, identifying those most likely to preserve their goods, families, reputations, and souls. The essays in this collection, written from diverse angles, range across later medieval western Europe, from Spain to Italy to England and the Hanseatic Leag...
