Book Description
Los dos autores, José Ángel García de Cortázar y José Ángel Sesma Muñoz, catedráticos de Historia Medieval, respectivamente, en las universidades de Cantabria y Zaragoza, que, en 1997, nos ofrecieron su Historia de la Edad Media. Una síntesis interpretativa, presentan ahora su "Manual de Historia Medieval". Con la misma estructura de la obra publicada hace diez años, los autores han reducido sus contenidos informativos para dar entrada a documentos de época y ampliar el aparato cartográfico. De esa forma, el volumen, que sigue incluyendo tanto un Glosario como una Cronología y un Índice analítico, continúa revisando el papel jugado entre los siglos V y XV por las tres áreas de civilización, Bizancio, Islam y Europa y ofrece, en su nuevo formato, un instrumento que, sin duda, se acomoda a las exigencias de los nuevos planes de estudio previstos por las directrices de la convergencia universitaria europea.

The Afterlife of al-Andalus
Author: Christina Civantos
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 1438466714
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 380
Book Description
Around the globe, concerns about interfaith relations have led to efforts to find earlier models in Muslim Iberia (al-Andalus). This book examines how Muslim Iberia operates as an icon or symbol of identity in twentieth and twenty-first century narrative, drama, television, and film from the Arab world, Spain, and Argentina. Christina Civantos demonstrates how cultural agents in the present ascribe importance to the past and how dominant accounts of this importance are contested. Civantos's analysis reveals that, alongside established narratives that use al-Andalus to create exclusionary, imperial identities, there are alternate discourses about the legacy of al-Andalus that rewrite the traditional narratives. In the process, these discourses critique their imperial and gendered dimensions and pursue intercultural translation.

The Medieval Frontiers of Latin Christendom
Author: Felipe Fernandez-Armesto
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351885766
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 416
Book Description
The aim of this first volume in the series "The Expansion of Latin Europe" is to sketch the outlines of medieval expansion, illustrating some of the major topics that historians have examined in the course of demonstrating the links between medieval and modern experiences. The articles reprinted here show that European expansion began not in 1492 following Columbus's voyages but earlier as European Christian society re-arose from the ruins of the Carolingian Empire. The two phases of expansion were linked but the second period did not simply replicate the medieval experience. Medieval expansion occurred as farmers, merchants, and missionaries reduced forests to farmland and pasture, created new towns, and converted the peoples encountered along the frontiers to Christianity. Later colonizers subsequently adapted the medieval experience to suit their new frontiers in the New World.

The History of Cartography, Volume 4
Author: Matthew H. Edney
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022633922X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1803
Book Description
Since its launch in 1987, the History of Cartography series has garnered critical acclaim and sparked a new generation of interdisciplinary scholarship. Cartography in the European Enlightenment, the highly anticipated fourth volume, offers a comprehensive overview of the cartographic practices of Europeans, Russians, and the Ottomans, both at home and in overseas territories, from 1650 to 1800. The social and intellectual changes that swept Enlightenment Europe also transformed many of its mapmaking practices. A new emphasis on geometric principles gave rise to improved tools for measuring and mapping the world, even as large-scale cartographic projects became possible under the aegis of powerful states. Yet older mapping practices persisted: Enlightenment cartography encompassed a wide variety of processes for making, circulating, and using maps of different types. The volume’s more than four hundred encyclopedic articles explore the era’s mapping, covering topics both detailed—such as geodetic surveying, thematic mapping, and map collecting—and broad, such as women and cartography, cartography and the economy, and the art and design of maps. Copious bibliographical references and nearly one thousand full-color illustrations complement the detailed entries.

Manual of Judaeo-Romance Linguistics and Philology
Author: Guido Mensching
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110394154
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 630
Book Description
This manual provides a detailed presentation of the various Romance languages as they appear in texts written by Jews, mostly using the Hebrew alphabet. It gives a comprehensive overview of the Jews and the Romance languages in the Middle Ages (part I), as well as after the expulsions (part II). These sections are dedicated to Judaeo-Romance texts and linguistic traditions mainly from Italy, northern and southern France (French and Occitan), and the Iberian Peninsula (Catalan, Spanish, Portuguese). The Judaeo-Spanish varieties of the 20th and 21st centuries are discussed in a separate section (part III), due to the fact that Judaeo-Spanish can be considered an independent language. This section includes detailed descriptions of its phonetics/phonology, morphology, lexicon, and syntax.

The Spanish Origin of the Checkers and Modern Chess Game. Volume III.
Author: Govert Westerveld
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1326452436
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
Since 1987 we have defended in articles that the Spanish queen Isabella I of Castile (Isabel la Catolica) was the new chess queen (dama) on the chessboard. Other publications were in 1990, 1994, 1997, and 2004. And of course, Marilyn Yalom studied our book during her visit to the National Library in The Hague (Holland) before she wrote Birth of the Chess Queen in 2004. In her book one cannot see that in 1987, 1990, and 1994 we already published material about Isabel la Catolica (Isabel I of Castile) being the new powerful dama or chess queen on the chessboard. In other words we can state here that we have been studying Spanish history and its chess literature for over 30 years. Since 2003 we have also known the development of the new bishop in chess."

The Medieval Heritage of Mexico
Author: Luis Weckmann
Publisher: Fordham Univ Press
ISBN: 9780823213245
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 712
Book Description
This book examines the medieval legacy that influences life in Spanish-speaking North America to the present day. Focusing on the period from 1517?the expedition of Hernandez de Cordoba?to the middle of the seventeenth century, Weckmann describes how explorers, administrators, judges, and clergy introduced to the New World a culture that was essentially medieval. That the transplanted culture differentiated itself from that of Spain is due to the resistance of the indigenous cultures of Mexico.
