Las universidades en la Edad Media
La universidad es producto de la maduración cultural experimentada en los siglo centrales del medievo por Europa Occidental. A su vez, la universidad es uno de los hechos de mayor significado cultural que se producen en el transcurso del medievo, y de mayores consecuencias. Desde su nacimiento la universidad ha desarrollado y trasmitido el conocimiento cientÃfico, contribuyendo a la creación de una tradición intelectual europea, pero también ha propiciado el nacimiento de una élite académica, destinada a jugar un relevante papel social. A lo largo de las páginas de este libro se trata, precisamente, de ofrecer una visión sintética de lo que fueron los primeros pasos de las universidades, desde que se produce su nacimiento y hasta el final del Medievo.
A Companion to the Queenship of Isabel la Católica
The queenship of the first European Renaissance queen regnant never ceases to fascinate. As fascists to feminists fight over Isabel’s legacy, we ask which recyclings of her image are legitimate or appropriate. Or has this figure taken on a life of her own?
The Virgin of Guadalupe and the Conversos
Hidden lives, hidden history, and hidden manuscripts. In The Virgin of Guadalupe and the Conversos, Marie-Theresa Hernández unmasks the secret lives of conversos and judaizantes and their likely influence on the Catholic Church in the New World. The terms converso and judaizante are often used for descendants of Spanish Jews (the Sephardi, or Sefarditas as they are sometimes called), who converted under duress to Christianity in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. There are few, if any, archival documents that prove the existence of judaizantes after the Spanish expulsion of the Jews in 1492 and the Portuguese expulsion in 1497, as it is unlikely that a secret Jew in sixteenth-century S...
Being the Nação in the Eternal City
James William Nelson Novoa's new book Being the Nação in the Eternal City explores, in a set of case studies focusing on seven carefully chosen figures, the presence of Portuguese individuals of Jewish origin in Rome after the initial creation of a tribunal of the Portuguese Inquisition in 1531. The book delves into the varied ways in which the protagonists, representing a cross-section of Portuguese society, went about grappling with the complexities of a New Christian identity, and tracks them through their interactions with Roman society and its institutions. Some chose to flaunt Jewish origins. They espoused a sense of being part of a distinctive group, the Portuguese New Christian naÃ...
La dinámica polÃtica
La conquista musulmana de la PenÃnsula motivará que la evolución polÃtica de la España medieval presente como un rasgo muy significativo lo que será todo un proceso de configuración de diversas realidades territoriales que, si diferenciadas polÃticamente, no dejarán de mantener entre ellas una especificidad de relaciones. AsÃ, junto a la emergencia de la institución monárquica como factor de encuadramiento polÃtico, como realidad común que se irá imponiendo, esta dinámica polÃtica se desarrollará directamente vinculada al proceso de compleja configuración social de una diversidad de territorios cuyos rasgos peculiares, en los diversos aspectos del devenir histórico, han tenido larga proyección más allá de su evolución medieval.
The Granddaughters of Edward III
Edward III may be known for his restoration of English kingly authority after the disastrous and mysterious fall of his father, Edward II, and eventual demise of his mother, Queen Isabella. It was Edward III who arguably put England on the map as a military might. This show of power and strength was not simply through developments in government, success in warfare or the establishment of the Order of the Garter, which fused ideals of chivalry and national identity to form camaraderie between king and peerage. The expansion of England as a formidable European powerhouse was also achieved through the traditional lines of political marriages, particularly those of the king of England’s own gr...
The Other Within
The Marranos were former Jews forced to convert to Christianity in Spain and Portugal, and their later descendents. Despite economic and some political advancement, these "Conversos" suffered social stigma and were persecuted by the Inquisition. In this unconventional history, Yirmiyahu Yovel tells their fascinating story and reflects on what it means for modern forms of identity. He describes the Marranos as "the Other within"—people who both did and did not belong. Rejected by most Jews as renegades and by most veteran Christians as Jews with impure blood, Marranos had no definite, integral identity, Yovel argues. The "Judaizers"—Marranos who wished to remain secretly Jewish—were not...
