Sarcophagi from the Jewish Catacombs of Ancient Rome
This comprehensive inventory of all known sarcophagi from the Jewish catacombs of Rome, is the first specialized treatment of this subject in monograph form. It describes and analyses each sarcophagus and provides full reference material which it critically examines. This work thus fills a lacuna in the literature on this field, which has up to now been confined to the treatment of early Christian and pagan sarcophagi of the period. �We have here a complete overview of the Jewish sarcophagi of ancient Rome, all of them illustrated by photographs and provided with extensive bibliographies. This work thus fills a lacuna in the literature on this field.� Journal for the Study of Judaism �Until this book, however, no one has attempted to assemble all of the Jewish sarcophagi separately in one place and to provide relevant information in the form of a well-ordered catalogue. For this reason, Konikoff's book provides a welcome resource for anyone interested in the material evidence of ancient Judaism and forms a good beginning for study of the sarcophagi, especially from a bibliographic point of view.� Gnomon .

Ancient Water Technologies
There is no more fundamental resource than water. The basis of all life, water is fast becoming a key issue in today’s world, as well as a source of conflict.

Francisco Jerónimo de León
La trayectoria vital de Francisco Jerónimo de León estuvo marcada por su formación jurídica y su vocación de servicio a la corona. Desde estas coordenadas el letrado protagonizó un extenso 'cursus honorum' que culminó con su promoción a la Real Audiencia y al Consejo Supremo de Aragón. Como resultado de su experiencia en la judicatura de la más alta instancia compuso una vastísima obra de jurisprudencia doctrinal -Decisiones Sacrae Regiae Audientiae Valentinae-, publicada en tres volúmenes. La relevancia alcanzada por el magistrado no ha impedido que su biografía haya permanecido prácticamente inédita hasta el momento. En esta monografía se ofrece una caracterización de su personalidad desde un doble enfoque: el entorno personal, familiar y social del jurista es perfilado en la primera parte del trabajo, mientras la segunda se consagra al estudio de su carrera profesional.
