A long-overdue reassessment of one of the most important and influential woman artists working at midcentury Anni Albers (1899–1994) was a German textile designer, weaver, and printmaker, and among the leading pioneers of 20th-century modernism. Although she has heavily influenced generations of artists and designers, her contribution to modernist art history has been comparatively overlooked, especially in relation to that of her husband, Josef. In this groundbreaking and beautifully illustrated volume, Albers’s most important works are examined to fully explore and redefine her contribution to 20th-century art and design and highlight her significance as an artist in her own right.

Desde la creación del cargo en 1245, el Justicia de València fue una institución clave del municipio, como juez ordinario civil y criminal en primera instancia. Este oficial local debió llevar unos registros sobre su actividad, unos libros que recogían una documentación muy diversa, desde procesos criminales con declaraciones de testigos y sentencias, hasta embargos por deudas y ventas de prendas. La serie de libros, que debió de empezar con la creación del cargo, sólo se conserva desde 1280, probablemente por las pérdidas ocasionadas por el incendio del archivo de la ciudad en 1307. Este volumen recoge los documentos comprendidos entre 1287-1288, 1298. Con todo, los libros correspondientes al siglo XIII constituyen una fuente documental extraordinaria, que permito acercarse a la vida cotidiana y a la lengua de las primeras generaciones de pobladores de la ciudad y de sus alrededores, provenientes de Cataluña y de Aragón.
