Between Christians and Moriscos
In early modern Spain the monarchy's universal policy to convert all of its subjects to Christianity did not end distinctions among ethnic religious groups, but rather made relations between them more contentious. Old Christians, those whose families had always been Christian, defined themselves in opposition to forcibly baptized Muslims (moriscos) and Jews (conversos). Here historian Benjamin Ehlers studies the relations between Christians and moriscos in Valencia by analyzing the ideas and policies of archbishop Juan de Ribera. Juan de Ribera, a young reformer appointed to the diocese of Valencia in 1568, arrived at his new post to find a congregation deeply divided between Christians and ...
The Arts of EncounterThe Arts of Encounter
Images of crosses, the Virgin Mary, and Christ, among other devotional objects, pervaded nearly every aspect of public and private life in early modern Spain, but they were also a point of contention between Christian and Muslim cultures. Writers of narrative fiction, theatre, and poetry were attuned to these debates, and religious imagery played an important role in how early modern writers chose to portray relations between Christians and Muslims. Drawing on a wide variety of literary genres as well as other textual and visual sources – including historical chronicles, travel memoirs, captives’ testimonies, and paintings – Catherine Infante traces the references to religious visual c...

A Cumulative Bibliography of Medieval Military History and Technology, Update 2003-2006
This is the second update of A Cumulative Bibliography of Medieval Military History and Technology, which appeared in 2002. It is meant to do two things: to present references to works on medieval military history and technology not included in the first two volumes; and to present references to all books and articles published on medieval military history and technology from 2003 to 2006. These references are divided into the same categories as in the first two volumes and cover a chronological period of the same length, from late antiquity to 1648, again in order to present a more complete picture of influences on and from the Middle Ages. It also continues to cover the same geographical area as the first and second volume, in essence Europe and the Middle East, or, again, influences on and from this area. The languages of these bibliographical references reflect this geography.

Compte i raó
La prosperitat de la ciutat de València al segle XVIII contrasta paradoxalment amb un Ajuntament immergit en un deute municipal que arrossega des d'època foral. L'interès d'aquest treball rau precisament en l'anàlisi detallada dels motius d'aquesta crisi que anquilosa l'activitat econòmica municipal, i en el rigor de les dades, tant dels ingressos municipals com de la destinació de les despeses (la mateixa administració, festes, beneficència, obres públiques, sanitat, educació, etc.). Tot això, en el marc d'una monarquia absoluta que no permet a l'Ajuntament disposar d'autonomia en les seues decisions econòmiques.
Fundació de la Cartoixa d'Ara Christi
Un dels pocs còdexs originals que ens han arribat procedents dels monestirs valencians i que encara no havia estat publicat. Molts dels documents que transcriu l’historiador Honorat Navarro han desaparegut, la qual cosa suposa un valor afegit al llibre. L’obra de Navarro fou continuada per posteriors cronistes que van fer arribar el llibre fins al segle XVIII.
