Mulatto · Outlaw · Pilgrim · Priest: The Legal Case of José Soller, Accused of Impersonating a Pastor and Other Crimes in Seventeenth-century Spain
In Mulatto · Outlaw · Pilgrim · Priest, John K. Moore, Jr. presents the first in-depth study, critical edition, and scholarly translation of His Majesty’s Representative v. José Soller, Mulatto Pilgrim, for Impersonating a Priest and Other Crimes. This legal case dates to the waning days of the Hapsburg Spanish empire and illuminates the discrimination those of black-African ancestry could face—that Soller did face while attempting to pass freely on his pilgrimage from Lisbon to Santiago de Compostela and beyond. This bilingual edition and study of the criminal trial against Soller is important for reconstructing his journey and for revealing at least in part the de facto and de jure treatment of mulattos in the early-modern Iberian Atlantic World.
Acquittals in the Spanish Inquisition
The Spanish Inquisition has become such a byword for injustice that many forget it was also a judicial system capable of acquittal. This study of more than 67,000 trials uncovers over 2,500 formal acquittals, more than 6,600 suspended trials, and nearly 2,100 with unknown or no recorded outcomes. The inquisitors were jurists who frequently held other judgeships before and after their tenure and used the same evidentiary rules as other Spanish courts. If every acquittal may be taken as an admission of error, the Spanish Inquisition admitted its errors thousands of times, occasionally even putting them on public display at the autos de fe. An acquittal can also be taken as a sign that the inquisitors did not wish to punish the innocent and that while they were quick to arrest and charge people on flimsy evidence, they were too conscientious to convict them without further proof. However, it is also clear that the Holy Office at times did bend, twist, or even break the law when it suited it in order to secure a conviction. This book is aimed at students, scholars, and general readers seeking a nuanced understanding of the Spanish Inquisition and its workings.
Life in a Time of Pestilence

Entre jueces y reos. Las postrimerías del Derecho penal absolutista
«Para auxiliar a los dependientes de justicia en la ejecución de la pena de muerte en horca, a la que por la sala primera de señores alcaldes de la Real Casa y Corte ha sido sentenciado D. Antonio Miyar por conspirador contra los derechos de S.M., y que después de ejecutada se le ponga pendido del cuello un cartel que diga Por revolucionario; cuya ejecución lo será en el paraje acostumbrado a las doce en punto de la mañana.

Carajicomedia
A study and edition of one of the most ignored works of early Spanish literature because of its strong sexual content, this work examines the social ideology that conditioned the reactions of people to the events it describes as well as Fernando de Rojas's masterpiece, Celestina.
La prisión y las instituciones punitivas en la investigación histórica
La Historia Social de las Instituciones Punitivas está necesitada en España de encuentro y debate, de confrontación y colaboración entre investigadores e investigadoras. Solo así logrará hacerse visible e inteligible como tendencia historiográfica y sobre todo como apuesta teórico-metodológica, porque de hecho ya es más que creíble como práctica historiográfica. Aquí, en este libro, junto a los logros también se perfilan las carencias y los retos más acuciantes. Lejos de buscar una autonomía extemporánea, la Historia Social de las Instituciones Punitivas quiere buscar su propia viabilidad a base de intersecciones y buenas mezclas. Esos objetivos se planteaba el Grupo de Est...
Connecting Histories
Whether forced by governmental decree, driven by persecution and economic distress, or seeking financial opportunity, the Jews of early modern Europe were extraordinarily mobile, experiencing both displacement and integration into new cultural, legal, and political settings. This, in turn, led to unprecedented modes of social mixing for Jews, especially for those living in urban areas, who frequently encountered Jews from different ethnic backgrounds and cultural orientations. Additionally, Jews formed social, economic, and intellectual bonds with mixed populations of Christians. While not necessarily effacing Jewish loyalties to local places, authorities, and customs, these connections and ...
O Ensino Teórico e Prático da História do Direito: uma apologia da avaliação distribuída
A obra versa sobre o ensino teórico e prático da História do Direito, fazendo uma apologia convicta da avaliação distribuída. O livro destina-se a professores universitários, mestrandos, doutorandos e demais investigadores. Terá um especial impacto junto dos docentes da Faculdade de Direito da Universidade do Porto porque apresenta o modelo de avaliação distribuída (também chamada avaliação contínua) criado pelo autor na unidade curricular de História do Direito, disciplina anual do 1o ano da licenciatura em Direito, desde 2006/2007. O autor é Professor Associado, com Agregação, nas áreas de Ciências Jurídico-Políticas e de Ciências Histórico-Jurídicas, da Faculdade de Direito da Universidade do Porto, desde novembro de 2020.
