The Inquisition of Francisca
Inspired by a series of visions, Francisca de los Apóstoles (1539-after 1578) and her sister Isabella attempted in 1573 to organize a beaterio, a lay community of pious women devoted to the religious life, to offer prayers and penance for the reparation of human sin, especially those of corrupt clerics. But their efforts to minister to the poor of Toledo and to call for general ecclesiastical reform were met with resistance, first from local religious officials and, later, from the Spanish Inquisition. By early 1575, the Inquisitional tribunal in Toledo had received several statements denouncing Francisca from some of the very women she had tried to help, as well as from some of her financi...
Visions of Deliverance
In Visions of Deliverance, Mayte Green-Mercado traces the circulation of Muslim and crypto-Muslim apocalyptic texts known as joferes through formal and informal networks of merchants, Sufis, and other channels of diffusion among Muslims and Christians across the Mediterranean from Constantinople and Venice to Morisco towns in eastern Spain. The movement of these prophecies from the eastern to the western edges of the Mediterranean illuminates strategies of Morisco cultural and political resistance, reconstructing both productive and oppositional interactions and exchanges between Muslims and Christians in the early modern Mediterranean. Challenging a historiography that has primarily underst...

Los Consejeros del Rey (1500-1836). Volumen I. Abad y la Sierra-Aragón y Moncada
En esta magna obra, por su extensión y contenido, Javier Barrientos Grandon efectúa un recorrido por el sistema de gobernación de la monarquía española, mediante el examen de los personajes que se integraron en el sistema polisinodial o de los consejos. Por orden alfabético, y para el período 1500-1836, la estructura de cada biografía asume un modelo general que, con las variaciones accidentales derivadas de la naturaleza peculiar de cada consejo y de los datos y noticias que ha sido posible adquirir, gira en torno al oficio y la jurisdicción. Este criterio rector determina que su estructura no sea necesariamente cronológica y, así, las biografías cubren los siguientes ámbitos: ...
