Scholars have shown renewed interest in the Book of Tobit since fragments of the text were found at Qumran. However, the wisdom instructions of Tobit 4 have remained largely ignored. The present study provides an extensive treatment of this important section, reading Tobit's wisdom discourse as a vital component in the literary expression of the author and as a strong indication of the significant role of the sapiential tradition in the world of Diaspora living. In the context of Second Temple Judaism, Tobit's wisdom discourse is part of an essential avenue for shaping identity and creating a distinct ethos for those outside the land.

Desaparició i retorn de la imatge de la Mare de Déu de Núria (1967-1972)
El juliol de 1967 la imatge de la Mare de Déu de Núria va desaparèixer misteriosament del seu santuari pirinenc. D’aquesta manera un grup de joves patriotes catalans protestaven per la festa oficial de la coronació de la imatge que havia de tenir lloc a Núria pocs dies després, en un acte de nacionalcatolicisme espanyolista i franquista. En aquest volum un historiador gironí ens explica els fets partint de la consulta d’arxius privats i públics, de fonts escrites i sobretot de converses amb els autors mateixos del segrest i del retorn de la imatge.
