In Praise of Song
This volume offers a reconstruction of the court culture of the taifa kings of al-Andalus (11th century A.D.), using both visual and textual evidence. A focus of particular attention is the court of the Banū Hūd at Zaragoza, and that dynasty's palace, the Aljafería. Principle written sources are not histories and chronicles, but the untranslated poetic anthologies of al-ḥimyarī and al-Fatḥ ibn Khāqān. The first part of the book addresses taifa visual and literary languages, with especial emphasis on connections between the literary and visual aspects of taifa aesthetics. The sections on the Aljafería's ornamental program will be of particular interest, not only to historians of Is...

Old Names, New Peoples: Listing Ethnonyms in Late Antiquity
No people is nameless, and lists of words are as old as writing systems. And yet, both subjects can appear unpromising to historians. This volume shows the contrary by examining the various meanings and functions of ethnonyms in Late Antiquity: added to catalogues of provinces, they reflect the political messages and the regulating power of the imperial bureaucracy; included in schoolbooks, they mirror educational practices and reveal the geographical and ethnic landscapes taught at school; placed on a map, they help make sense of the world in times of transition.
Las vicisitudes de Clío (siglos XVIII-XXI)
¿Acaso la experiencia de la vida y la enfermedad han hecho del joven profesor que en 1978 obtenía la agregación de Historia Contemporánea en la Universidad de Murcia una persona distinta? Tal confiesa el profesor Olábarri en un reciente ensayo de ego-historia. Mas no creo que lo vean así —y el propio historiador ha reconocido la continuidad de sus conceptos historiográficos y de su proyecto intelectual— quienes hayan seguido el decurso de su vida y la producción de su obra. El tiempo no ha modificado la personalidad moral y el estilo intelectual, la «forma de estar» en el medio profesional, del profesor de la Universidad de Navarra. Ocupa Olábarri un lugar propio, singular en ...
