Este compendio de Historia Medieval de la Península Ibérica ofrece una visión de conjunto del período histórico comprendido entre la dominación visigoda y la formación del Estado unitario español. La autora -catedrática de Geografía e Historia- estudia el desarrollo interno de las sociedades hispanas, sin olvidar que este desarrollo es inseparable de los factores políticos, jurídico-administrativos, económicos, sociales o culturales, en estrecha relación con los dos mundos protagonistas de nuestra Edad Media: el europeo y el islámico. El texto está dividido en cuatro bloques temáticos (época visigoda, hegemonía musulmana -siglos VIII-XI-, expansión territorial de los reinos cristianos -siglos XI-XIII-, crisis del siglo XIV y recuperación posterior) cimentados sobre una rigurosa y constante información cronológica, hasta ahora inusual en los tratamientos de esta época. En cada uno de dichos bloques temáticos se hace una breve síntesis de la historia europea e islámica y de la historia de España, análizandose conjuntamente los apartados relativos a la evolución política, la repoblación, la organización administrativa y militar, la economía, la sociedad, la Iglesia, la cultura (incluida la historiografía) y el arte. Siguiendo criterios metodológicos actuales, no se han escatimado los elementos gráficos fundamentales -mapas y cuadros dinásticos- cuidadosamente elaborados como apoyatura a una más amplia comprensión del texto. Complementan la obra y facilitan su manejo una orientación bibliográfica general y por capítulos, además de un índice alfabético conceptual, toponímico y onomástico.

The Spanish Arcadia analyzes the figure of the shepherd in the sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Spanish imaginary, exploring its centrality to the discourses on racial, cultural, and religious identity. Drawing on a wide range of documents, including theological polemics on blood purity, political treatises, manuals on animal husbandry, historiography, paintings, epic poems, and Spanish ballads, Javier Irigoyen-García argues that the figure of the shepherd takes on extraordinary importance in the reshaping of early modern Spanish identity. The Spanish Arcadia contextualizes pastoral romances within a broader framework and assesses how they inform other cultural manifestations. In doing so, Irigoyen-García provides incisive new ideas about the social and ethnocentric uses of the genre, as well as its interrelation with ideas of race, animal husbandry, and nation building in early modern Spain.

The setting of this volume is the Iberian Peninsula during the Middle Ages, where Christianity and Islam co-existed side by side as the official religions of Muslim al-Andalus on the one hand, and the Christian kingdoms in the north of the peninsula on the other. Its purpose is to examine the meaning of the word 'Mozarab' and the history and nature of the people called by that name; it represents a synthesis of the author's many years of research and publication in this field. Richard Hitchcock first sets out to explain what being a non-Muslim meant in al-Andalus, both in the higher echelons of society and at a humbler level. The terms used by Arab chroniclers, when examined carefully, suggest a lesser preoccupation with purely religious values than hitherto appreciated. Mozarabism in León and Toledo, two notably distinct phenomena, are then considered at length, and there are two chapters exploring the issues that arose, firstly when Mozarabs were relocated in twelfth-century Aragón, and secondly, in sixteenth-century Toledo, when they were striving to retain their identity.

After the success of the first international conference on the medieval chronicle, it was decided that another would be in place. It was held in the summer of 1999, and again drew some 150 participants. There are several reasons why the chronicle is particularly suited as the topic of an international conference. In the first place there is its ubiquity: all over Europe and throughout the Middle Ages chronicles were written, both in Latin and in the vernacular, and not only in Europe but also in the countries neighbouring on it, like those of the Arabic world. Secondly, all chronicles raise such questions as by whom, for whom, or for what purpose were they written, how do they reconstruct the past, what determined the choice of verse or prose, or what kind of literary influences are discernable in them. Finally, many chronicles have been beautifully illuminated, and the relation between text and image leads to a wholly different set of questions. Like its predecessor this volume of conference papers aims to provide a representative survey of the on-going research in the field of chronicle studies, illustrated by examples from specific chronicles from a wide variety of countries, periods and cultural backgrounds. They are introduced by the opening address by David Dumville, on the question What is a chronicle?

This volume investigates the mechanisms (artworks, treatises, and other forms of cultural patronage) that the Marquises of Villena and their opponents used to operate in the cultural battlefield of the time with the aim of understanding how their conflicting historical memories were constructed and manipulated. Concentrating on the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, the book examines these two aristocrats and demonstrates that political tensions led not only to military conflicts during this period but also to conflicts fought on cultural grounds, through the promotion of artistic, religious, and literary programmes. Maria Teresa Chicote Pompanin investigates why the Marquises of Villena lost in both the military and cultural battlefields and explains how the negative historical memories forged by their opponents in the late fifteenth century managed to become the official historical truth that has remained unchallenged to this day. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, cultural history, medieval studies, Renaissance studies, Iberian studies, literary studies, and patronage studies.
