Apologia and Criticism
This book is the first modern overview of the history of historiography in Spain. It covers sources from Juan de Mariana's History of Spain, written at the end of the sixteenth century, up to current historical writings and their context. The main objective of the book is to shed light on the continuities and breaks in the ways that Spanish historians represented ideas of Spain. The concept of historiography used is wide enough to span not only academic works and institutions but also public uses of history, including the history taught in schools. The methodology employed by the author combines the tradition of studies of national identity with those of historiography. One of the key themes in the book is the role of the historical profession in Spain and its influence on national discourse from the nineteenth century onwards.
The Iberian Qur’an
Due to the long presence of Muslims in Islamic territories (Al-Andalus and Granada) and of Muslims minorities in the Christians parts, the Iberian Peninsula provides a fertile soil for the study of the Qur’an and Qur’an translations made by both Muslims and Christians. From the mid-twelfth century to at least the end of the seventeenth, the efforts undertaken by Christian scholars and churchmen, by converts, by Muslims (both Mudejars and Moriscos) to transmit, interpret and translate the Holy Book are of the utmost importance for the understanding of Islam in Europe. This book reflects on a context where Arabic books and Arabic speakers who were familiar with the Qur’an and its exegesis coexisted with Christian scholars. The latter not only intended to convert Muslims, and polemize with them but also to adquire solid knowledge about them and about Islam. Qur’ans were seized during battle, bought, copied, translated, transmitted, recited, and studied. The different features and uses of the Qur’an on Iberian soil, its circulation as well as the lives and works of those who wrote about it and the responses of their audiences, are the object of this book.
2005
Annually published since 1930, the International Bibliography of Historical Sciences (IBOHS) is an international bibliography of the most important historical monographs and periodical articles published throughout the world, which deal with history from the earliest to the most recent times. The IBOHS is thus currently the only continuous bibliography of its kind covering such a broad period of time, spectrum of subjects and geographical range. The works are arranged systematically according to period, region or historical discipline, and alphabetically according to authors names or, in the case of anonymous works, by the characteristic main title word. The bibliography contains a geographical index and indexes of persons and authors.

Impactos ambientales del crecimiento económico en España. Una perspectiva histórica
El presente libro consta de diez capítulos, en los que algunos de los principales especialistas en temas de historia económica y ambiental analizan las transformaciones ambientales y económicas de España durante los siglos xix y xx, examinando los impactos que los cambios en la economía han tenido sobre el medio ambiente. A través de temas como la evolución de la agricultura, el uso de los bosques, los cambios en el consumo de agua o de energía, en la producción minera e industrial o en las emisiones y la toxicidad, se ofrecen claves relevantes para entender mejor la configuración histórica de la crisis ecológica que vivimos en la actualidad.
El Instituto Francés de Zaragoza. Un siglo de diplomacia cultural (1919-2019)
Este trabajo destaca no solo por su amplitud —un siglo—, sino por su originalidad y singularidad. Es original porque aborda un tema inexplorado, ya que el estado de la cuestión se reducía a un sucinto artículo redactado para la Gran Enciclopedia Aragonesa a principios de los años ochenta. En cuanto a su singularidad, resalta el hecho de que recupera la historia del único instituto francés de España que cuenta con cien años de vida en sentido estricto, pues los otros tres ya centenarios —Valencia, Barcelona y Madrid— cerraron sus puertas durante la Guerra Civil. Con bases archivísticas, consulta de hemerotecas y testimonios personales se analiza la diplomacia cultural francesa en Zaragoza entre 1919 y 2019.
