In the Cantigas de Santa Maria, a collection of more than four hundred poems written in the language of medieval Galicia in praise of the Virgin Mary, Alfonso X, el Sabio, king of Castile-Leon, has left us a kind of poetic biography. Declaring himself Mary's troubadour, he appeals to her as his advocate and consoler as he recounts specific events in his life and that of his kingdom. As he tells us about his family, his war against the Muslims of Granada and Morocco, the treachery of the nobility, his frequent illnesses, and his fear of hellfire and damnation, he reveals much about his personality and his spirituality. This volume explicates the historical circumstances surrounding the events described in the cantigas. The Cantigas de Santa Maria is a royal biography unique in thirteenth-century Europe.
Este trabajo contiene los resúmenes de las presentaciones orales que han tenido lugar en la reunión de doctorandos de los centros de investigación europeos (DLR-Alemania, CNRS–PROMES-Francia, CIEMAT-PSA-España, ETH Zurich-Suiza, CIESOL-UAL-España, IMDEA Energy-España, METU-Turquía) involucrados en el proyecto SFERA-III (European Union's Horizon2020 Research and Innovation programme, grant agreement n 823802). Todos ellos son claves para la investigación europea en energía solar térmica y fotoquímica solar. El programa ha estado organizado en diferentes sesiones técnicas que han versado sobre almacenamiento de energía, combustibles solares, estrategias de modelado y control, receptores solares de torre central, captadores para la concentración de energía solar y el nexo energía solar-agua-alimentación.
In this magisterial work, Joseph O'Callaghan offers a detailed account of the establishment of Alfonso X's legal code, the Libro de las leyes or Siete Partidas, and its applications in the daily life of thirteenth-century Iberia, both within and far beyond the royal courts. O'Callaghan argues that Alfonso X, el Sabio (the Wise), was the Justinian of his age, one of the truly great legal minds of human history. Alfonso X, the Justinian of His Age highlights the struggles the king faced in creating a new, coherent, inclusive, and all-embracing body of law during his reign, O'Callaghan also considers Alfonso X's own understanding of his role as king, lawgiver, and defender of the faith in order to evaluate the impact of his achievement on the administration of justice. Indeed, such was the power and authority of the Alfonsine code that it proved the king's downfall when his son invoked it to challenge his rule. Throughout this soaring legal and historical biography, O'Callaghan reminds us of the long-term impacts of Alfonso X's legal works, not just on Castilian (and later, Iberian) life, but on the administration of justice across the world.
