The Catalan Mas
Anyone who travels today through the Catalan territory will be drawn to several farmhouses that not only show their age, but the characteristic features of a wealthy peasantry. If they are on a leisure trip, it is even possible that they have a meal or even spend some nights in one of these houses, and perhaps in that solitude, they will be able to admire the wild nature that surrounds them. But this way of life also seems to suggest that things were not always the same. Catalan masos were specific operating units around which men articulated and rearranged the Catalan agricultural, livestock, and forested areas for centuries. In fact, in many of these farmhouses the accumulated documents re...
Les archives familiales en péninsule Ibérique et dans l’Occident chrétien (Moyen Âge, première modernité)
Historiens et archivistes ont noué un dialogue original et fécond pour proposer dans ce volume une réflexion sur les archives dites de famille. Elle confronte les regards, les recherches et des expériences pour un sujet inscrit à la croisée de champs scientifiques renouvelés : l’étude des pratiques de l’écrit, l’histoire des archives – et l’archivistique / l’archival science –, de la parenté. Toutes les dimensions des archives familiales sont interrogées (archives des familles royales – ou du royaume ? –, nobles, dans leur diversité, mais aussi marchandes et paysannes ; fabrique des archives / de la « famille », du lignage, de la Maison ?) dans une péninsule Ibérique ouverte à la comparaison avec d’autres aires géographiques. Dépassant la classique césure entre Moyen Âge et Modernité, la production, conservation, transmission et réorganisation des archives familiales, désormais sujets d’étude per se, sont saisies en mouvement, dans leur historicité et dans la transversalité sociale des pratiques.
Defiant Priests
Two hundred years after canon law prohibited clerical marriage, parish priests in the late medieval period continued to form unions with women that were marriage all but in name. In Defiant Priests, Michelle Armstrong-Partida uses evidence from extraordinary archives in four Catalan dioceses to show that maintaining a family with a domestic partner was not only a custom entrenched in Catalan clerical culture but also an essential component of priestly masculine identity. From unpublished episcopal visitation records and internal diocesan documents (including notarial registers, bishops' letters, dispensations for illegitimate birth, and episcopal court records), Armstrong-Partida reconstruct...
Family Law and Society in Europe from the Middle Ages to the Contemporary Era
This volume addresses the study of family law and society in Europe, from medieval to contemporary ages. It examines the topic from a legal and social point of view. Furthermore, it investigates those aspects of the new family legal history that have not commonly been examined in depth by legal historians. The volume provides a new 'global' interpretative key of the development of family law in Europe. It presents essays about family and the Christian influence, family and criminal law, family and civil liability, filiation (legitimate, natural and adopted children), and family and children labour law. In addition, it explores specific topics related to marriage, such as the matrimonial property regime from a European comparative perspective, and impediments to marriage, such as bigamy. The book also addresses topics including family, society and European juridical science.
Succession Law, Practice and Society in Europe across the Centuries
This book presents a broad overview of succession law, encompassing aspects of family law, testamentary law and legal history. It examines society and legal practice in Europe from the Middle Ages to the present from both a legal and a sociological perspective. The contributing authors investigate various aspects of succession law that have not yet been thoroughly examined by legal historians, and in doing so they not only add to our knowledge of past succession law but also provide a valuable key to interpreting and understanding current European succession law. Readers can explore such issues as the importance of a father’s permission to marry in relation to disinheritance, as well as inheritance transactions and private, dynastic and cross-border successions. Further themes addressed by the expert contributors include women’s inheritance rights, the laws of succession for the prince in legal consulting, and succession in the Rota Romana’s jurisprudence.
Discourse Markers in Interaction
The aim of this volume is to bring together researchers interested in investigating the role that Discourse Markers play in language production and comprehension from an experimental or corpus-based perspective. In any kind of human communication, Discourse Markers are part of the game. This omnipresence informs us of a crucial inherent aspect of human language. Yet, as a linguistic category, Discourse Markers remain underdetermined. To gain deeper insight into this complex linguistic category, more systematic work is needed on the production and on the interpretation of Discourse Markers in a variety of situational settings, resorting to different methodological approaches. The contribution...

Ciència, tècnica i agricultura a la Catalunya de la Il·lustració (1766-1821)
Aquest treball tracta sobre el moviment agronòmic a Catalunya durant el període de la Il·lustració. De l'estudi de les fonts consultades es posa de manifest l'existència d'un discurs que tenia com a eixos la potenciació i la modernització de l'agricultura. A partir d'aquesta constatació s'ha bastit una hipòtesi de treball que pretén demostrar que el moviment agronòmic català de la Il·lustració, tot i posseir uns trets específics que el dotaven de personalitat pròpia, va seguir, tant des del punt de vista institucional, humà, com de propostes tecnològiques, les directrius del seu homòleg europeu. El treball es divideix en tres parts. Després d'una primera part en la que s'...
