The Spanish Atlantic World in the Eighteenth Century
This book covers the evolution of royal policy in Spanish America as eighteenth-century Spain modernized its empire and transformed itself into a power of the first order. Tracing the interplay between war and reform, the analysis confronts the diverse realities of the Spanish Atlantic world, which stretched from the northern Mexican borderlands to Argentina and Chile. Unlike earlier studies on eighteenth-century Spain, this work incorporates the early Bourbon experience into the narrative and integrates the impressive reemergence of the Royal Armada into a fuller picture of administrative, commercial, fiscal, ecclesiastical, and military change.
The Spanish Monarchy and the Creation of the Viceroyalty of New Granada (1717-1739)
In The Spanish Monarchy and the Creation of the Viceroyalty of New Granada (1717-1739), Francisco A. Eissa-Barroso analyzes the politics behind the most salient Bourbon reform introduced in Spanish America during the early eighteenth century.
The Inquisition in New Spain, 1536–1820
The Inquisition! Just the word itself evokes, to the modern reader, endless images of torment, violence, corruption, and intolerance committed in the name of Catholic orthodoxy and societal conformity. But what do most people actually know about the Inquisition, its ministers, its procedures? This systematic, comprehensive look at one of the most important Inquisition tribunals in the New World reveals a surprisingly diverse panorama of actors, events, and ideas that came into contact and conflict in the central arena of religious faith. Edited and annotated by John F. Chuchiak IV, this collection of previously untranslated and unpublished documents from the Holy Office of the Inquisition in...
Family and Empire
In the medieval and early modern periods, Spain shaped a global empire from scattered territories spanning Europe, Africa, and the Americas. Historians either have studied this empire piecemeal—one territory at a time—or have focused on monarchs endeavoring to mandate the allegiance of far-flung territories to the crown. For Yuen-Gen Liang, these approaches do not adequately explain the forces that connected the territories that the Spanish empire comprised. In Family and Empire, Liang investigates the horizontal ties created by noble family networks whose members fanned out to conquer and subsequently administer key territories in Spain's Mediterranean realm. Liang focuses on the Ferná...

Voices of Conscience
Voices of Conscience analyzes how the link between politics and conscience was articulated and shaped throughout the seventeenth century by confessors who acted as counsellors to monarchs. Against the backdrop of the momentous intellectual, theological, and political shifts that marked this period, the study examines comparatively how the ethical challenges of political action were confronted in Spain and France and how questions of conscience became a major argument in the hegemonic struggle between the two competing Catholic powers. As Nicole Reinhardt demonstrates, 'counsel of conscience' was not a peripheral feature of early-modern political culture, but fundamental for the definition of...

El municipio medieval: nuevas perspectivas
En esta obra colectiva, varios historiadores del derecho y de las instituciones estudian la evolución de las estructuras municipales desde la época tardo-romana hasta la Edad Media y las formas de prefeudalismo y feudalismo hispánico. También se analiza la pervivencia de la tradición islámica en las instituciones concejiles, la contribución franca a la formación urbana de los reinos peninsulares y la autonomía concejil frente a las encomiendas monásticas. En varios capítulos se estudia la administración territorial y local, la potestad normativa y sancionadora municipal así como diversas instituciones singulares como las merindades, la caballería de sierra, etc. In this collect...
La Segunda Carolina. El Nuevo Código de Leyes de las Indias
En 1681 Carlos II autorizó la impresión de la recopilación de las Leyes de Indias. Constaban de 9 libros en 4 tomos que compilaron las fuentes del derecho de indias por materias, con arreglo a un criterio cronológico. Una compilación como ésta generó problemas porque envejeció con rapidez; en 1714 el Consejo de Indias advirtió a Felipe V que, por el volumen de la obra legislativa, se debían añadir dos libros más, y que existía confusión sobre la prelación de fuentes y sobre el derecho vigente. El 9 de mayo de 1776, Carlos III ordenó la formación de un Nuevo Código de Indias que se conoce como la Segunda Carolina. La Corona designó una Junta de Ministros- Consejeros que, ...
