Juan Antonio Alejandre es Catedr tico de Historia del Derecho de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Desde hace algunos a¤os investiga sobre la Inquisici¢n, particularmente sobre el Tribunal de Sevilla, y el fruto de su trabajo se ha reflejado en un buen n£mero de libros y art¡culos. Entre aqu‚llos se cuentan los titulados Osad¡as, vilezas y otros trajines (Alianza Editorial, 1995) y Milagreros, libertinos e insensatos (Universidad de Sevilla, 1997), agotados hace tiempo y cuyos contenidos, que siempre despertaron inter‚s, se refunden ahora en el que el lector tiene en sus manos. Las historias que se refieren en estas p ginas mantienen entre s¡ un nexo fat¡dico: todos sus actore...
The Inner Life of Catholic Reform
"While studies abound about Catholic Reform and its institutional or social history, its spiritual motives and practices, what one could call its "inner life," have been widely neglected. This book examines how these spiritual ideas and practices shaped the Catholic Reform and Catholic view of the world and led to a diverse but peculiarly theological imagination, a new outlook on the self and the world, and influenced human behaviors and sentiments. It tells the story of how the idea of the "inner reform of the soul" shaped a world religion. The historicization of these religious practices and beliefs makes this book also highly accessible to historians and anthropologists. It relies on a plethora of published and unpublished sources, and a wide field of secondary literature. Although the emphasis is on Europe, this book takes a global perspective by integrating material from Africa, America and Asia as it was in this era that Catholicism became a "world religion.""--
Un catálogo de recursos para una época de crisis económica
Este estudio parte de la situación económica que se vivió en España a consecuencia de la Guerra Civil y, más concretamente, de la crisis que entonces surgió, de la carencia de medios para atender a una población empobrecida, víctima de la contienda. Y, sobre todo, se describen en él los recursos ideados en aquel momento para contener aquella catástrofe humanitaria, aunque estos fueran de mera «supervivencia»: pequeñas aportaciones, unas envueltas en un halo de voluntarismo, de humanidad; otras, una clara imposición, de la que era difícil evadirse moralmente. Pero, sumadas unas y otras, contribuyeron a paliar la desprotección en la que muchas familias se encontraron, dada la f...
Conversos, Inquisition, and the Expulsion of the Jews from Spain
The Jewish community of medieval Spain was the largest and most important in the West for more than a thousand years, participating fully in cultural and political affairs with Muslim and Christian neighbors. This stable situation began to change in the 1390s, and through the next century hundreds of thousands of Jews converted to Christianity. Norman Roth argues here with detailed documentation that, contrary to popular myth, the conversos were sincere converts who hated (and were hated by) the remaining Jewish community. Roth examines in depth the reasons for the Inquisition against the conversos, and the eventual expulsion of all Jews from Spain. “With scrupulous scholarship based on a ...
The Expansion of Tolerance
Of all the European powers, the Dutch were considered the most tolerant of minority religious practices in their colonies. In The Expansion of Tolerance, a pair of historians examines this unusual sensitivity in the case of the seventeenth-century Dutch colonies of Brazil. Jonathan Israel demonstrates that religious tolerance under Dutch rule in Brazil was unprecedented. Catholics and Jews coexisted peacefully with the Protestant majority and were allowed freedom of conscience and unfettered private worship. Stuart Schwartz then considers the Dutch example in light of the Portuguese colonies in Brazil, revealing that the Portuguese were surprisingly tolerant as well. This collaboration will be of interest to anyone studying colonial history or the history of religious tolerance.
The Western Codification of Criminal Law
This volume addresses an important historiographical gap by assessing the respective contributions of tradition and foreign influences to the 19th century codification of criminal law. More specifically, it focuses on the extent of French influence – among others – in European and American civil law jurisdictions. In this regard, the book seeks to dispel a number of myths concerning the French model’s actual influence on European and Latin American criminal codes. The impact of the Napoleonic criminal code on other jurisdictions was real, but the scope and extent of its influence were significantly less than has sometimes been claimed. The overemphasis on French influence on other civil law jurisdictions is partly due to a fundamental assumption that modern criminal codes constituted a break with the past. The question as to whether they truly broke with the past or were merely a degree of reform touches on a difficult issue, namely, the dichotomy between tradition and foreign influences in the codification of criminal law. Scholarship has unfairly ignored this important subject, an oversight that this book remedies.

The Ashgate Research Companion to the Counter-Reformation
'In the last two decades, the history of the Counter-Reformation has been stretched and re-shaped in numerous directions. Reflecting the variety and innovation that characterize studies of early modern Catholicism today, this volume incorporates topics as diverse as life cycle and community, science and the senses, the performing and visual arts, material objects and print culture, war and the state, sacred landscapes and urban structures. Moreover, it challenges the conventional chronological parameters of the Counter-Reformation and introduces the reader to the latest research on global Catholicism. The Ashgate Research Companion to the Counter-Reformation presents a comprehensive examination of recent scholarship on early modern Catholicism in its many guises. It examines how the Tridentine reforms inspired conflict and conversion, and evaluates lives and identities, spirituality, culture and religious change. This wide-ranging and original research guide is a unique resource for scholars and students of European and transnational history.
