The Spanish Influenza Pandemic of 1918-1919 sheds new light on what the World Health Organization described as "the single most devastating infectious disease outbreak ever recorded" by situating the Iberian Peninsula as the key point of connection, both epidemiologically and discursively, between Europe and the Americas. The essays in this volume elucidate specific aspects of the pandemic that have received minimal attention until now, including social control, gender, class, religion, national identity, and military medicine's reactions to the pandemic and its relationship with civilian medicine, all in the context of World War I. As the authors point out, however, the experiences of 1918-...

This book investigates Jan Van Eyck's patronage by the Crown of Portugal and his role as diplomat-painter for the Duchy of Burgundy following his first voyage to Lisbon in 1428-1429, when he painted two portraits of Infanta Isabella, who became the third wife of Philip the Good in 1430. New portrait identifications are provided for the Ghent Altarpiece (1432) and its iconographical prototype, the lost Fountain of Life. These altarpieces are analysed with regard to King Joao I's conquest of Ceuta, achieved by his sons, who were hailed as an "illustrious generation."

En 1580, Philippe II revendique l'héritage de la dynastie des Avis, désormais éteinte, et s'empare du trône de Portugal. Pendant soixante ans, les Habsbourg d'Espagne règnent sur un pays qui conserve néanmoins son autonomie juridique. Dans ses causes immédiates, l'avènement en 1640 de la dynastie des Bragance traduit tout d'abord un rejet de la politique menée par le favori de Philippe IV, le comte-duc d'Olivares. Le financement de la guerre de Trente Ans et de l'effort militaire hispanique avait imposé un programme de perception, pour l'ensemble de la Monarchie, qui consacrait le recours au régime de l'extraordinaire et impliquait le recul des juridictions et prérogatives portugaises au profit de l'autorité du roi et de son entourage. L'étude de différents types de textes permet de multiplier les éclairages sur la société portugaise, où la dispersion des sources d'autorité et des modalités d'exercice du pouvoir engendre un véritable kaléidoscope politique, et conduit à s'interroger sur le sens, voire la pertinence, des concepts enchaînes d'État et de Nation à propos de l'histoire politique du premier XVIIe siècle européen.
