Hernando Colon's New World of Books
The untold story of the greatest library of the Renaissance and its creator Hernando Colón This engaging book offers the first comprehensive account of the extraordinary projects of Hernando Colón, son of Christopher Columbus, which culminated in the creation of the greatest library of the Renaissance, with ambitions to be universal––that is, to bring together copies of every book, on every subject and in every language. Pérez Fernández and Wilson-Lee situate Hernando’s projects within the rapidly changing landscape of early modern knowledge, providing a concise history of the collection of information and the origins of public libraries, examining the challenges he faced and the solutions he devised. The two authors combine “meticulous research with deep and original thought,” shedding light on the history of libraries and the organization of knowledge. The result is an essential reference text for scholars of the early modern period, and for anyone interested in the expansion and dissemination of information and knowledge.

Bibliografia Nebrisense
The Spanish humanist Antonio de Nebrija (1444-1522) is the author of an impressive body of scientific work which comprises a broad spectrum of humanistic knowledge. While the languages dealt with by Nebrija include not only Latin and Spanish, but the most prominent Romance languages, his grammatical work focuses on Latin, Castillian, Greek and even Hebrew.

La muerte de la ficción sentimental
La ficción sentimental, tradición iberorrománica donde lashaya —ya que produce, a lo largo de su trayectoria, obras en castellano, catalán y portugués— es un campo no demasiado mimado por la crítica, con excepción de su representante más emblemática, la Cárcel de amor de Diego de San Pedro (1492), auténtico best-seller internacional de su época. El género brinda amores infelices, bañados en ríos de lágrimas y sangre, a su público —fórmula exitosa durante un siglo entero, pero que parece entrar en decadencia a lo largo del siglo XVI—. Es esta fase tardía, agonía y muerte de la ficción sentimental, que no se ha estudiado todavía con el debido detalle, ni mucho menos desde una perspectiva amplia, pan-ibérica. A ello se dedica este libro, preguntándose por los mecanismos que se hacen efectivos en lo que se presenta como fin de una tradición literaria: ¿Qué significa realmente la muerte de un género? ¿Cómo y por qué desaparece la ficción sentimental?
Queen as King
This study traces the history of San Isidoro in León from a small eleventh-century palatine chapel housed in a double monastery to a great twelfth-century pilgrimage church. Its most groundbreaking contribution to the history of art is the recovery of the lost patronage of Queen Urraca (reigned 1109-1126).
