Inquisitionis Hispanicae Artes: The Arts of the Spanish Inquisition. Reginaldus Gonsalvius Montanus
The Inquisitionis Hispanicae Artes (Heidelberg, 1567), written by exiled Spanish Protestants, is the first systematic denunciation of the Spanish Inquisition. Its first part is a description of the Inquisition’s methods, making use of the Inquisition’s own instruction manual, which was not publicly known. Its second section presents a gallery of individuals who suffered persecution in Seville during the anti-Protestant repression (1557-1565). The book had a great impact, being almost immediately translated into English, French, Dutch, German, and Hungarian. The portraits very soon passed into Protestant martyrologies, and the most shocking descriptions (torture, auto de fe) became ammunition for anti-Spanish literature. This critical edition presents a new text as well as, for the first time, extensive notes.
Constantino de la Fuente (San Clemente, 1502–Seville, 1560)
During the first half of the sixteenth century the Spanish Inquisition fought "Lutheranism" in a benign way, but as time passed the power struggle between those that favoured reform and the detractors intensified, until persecution became relentless under the mandate of Inquisitor General Fernando de Valdés. The power struggle did not catch Constantino by surprise, but the tables turned faster than he had expected. On 1 August 1558 Constantino preached his last sermon in the cathedral of Seville; fifteen days later he was imprisoned. Constantino's evangelising zeal is evident in all his works, but the core of his theology can be found in Beatus Vir, where he deals with the doctrines of sin and pardon, free grace, providence, predestination, and the relationship between faith and works. In his exposition of Psalm 1, Constantino does not resort to human philosophies but associates the spiritual fall of humanity with ugliness. In his exhortation to the reader, he states: "we shall plainly see the repulsiveness of that which seems so good in the eyes of insane men, and the beauty and greatness of that which the Divine Word has promised and assured those who turn to its counsel."
Giles of Viterbo
The Sentences Commentary of Giles of Viterbo embodies the intellectual and spiritual vision of one of the luminaries of the Italian Renaissance and a reformer of his religious order. Giles strove to locate in ancient wisdom truths revealed in the Bible and Christian doctrine. He composed “according to Plato's mind,” but, influenced by Ficino and the revival of theologia Platonica, he integrates material from Greek myth and metaphysics with the Bible and Christian theology. Until now only a small portion of Giles's Commentary has been published, yet this major work contains some of the best examples of his interpretive method. The present edition contains the entire Commentary as far as Giles proceeded with his ambitious project.
Reformations Compared
Comparative essays by an international panel of historians offer fresh insights into the unfolding of the Reformation across Europe.

Charisterion
’Charisterion’ se decía en Grecia a la manifestación concreta de reconocimiento hacia una persona. En este caso, a Francisco Martín García, catedrático de Filología Griega de la Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha: sus amigos helenistas y sus compañeros del Departamento de Filología Hispánica y clásica y de la Facultad de Letras le ofrecen los más de cincuenta estudios recogidos en este volumen. La mitad de ellos pertenecen estrictamente hablando a la Filología Clásica, y la otra mitad a muy numerosas áreas del saber: Filología Hispánica, Francesa e Inglesa, Lingüística, Historia, Filosofía, Historia del Arte, etcétera.
Herzog Albrecht V. von Bayern
Herzog Albrecht V. von Bayern (reg. 1550-1579) hat vielfältige Beachtung seitens der historischen, kunsthistorischen und musikwissenschaftlichen Forschung erfahren. Der Sammelband verknüpft diese Forschungsstränge und setzt sich vornehmlich aus wissenshistorischer Perspektive mit den komplexen kulturellen Kontexten auseinander, in denen dieser Fürst agierte. Er nimmt Albrecht V. einerseits als europäischen Akteur in den Blick, dessen Geltungsanspruch sich nicht auf das Heilige Römische Reich und erst recht nicht auf den süddeutschen Raum beschränkte. Zugleich stellt er die Frage, auf welches Wissen sich Albrechts Regierung stützte, wie sie dieses Wissen organisierte und inszenierte....
