Esta es la primera edición filológica de "Temblor de Lima, año de 1609, gobernando el Marqués de Montes Claros, virrey excelentísimo, y una canción real panegírica en la venida de su excelencia a estos reinos" (Lima, 1609), obra que, junto a la "Canción real" (1612) también editada aquí, constituye la producción poética de Pedro de Oña (Angol, Chile, 1570-Lima, ¿1643?) dirigida a Juan de Mendoza y Luna, virrey del Perú (1607-1615). Este corpus es una magnífica muestra de las expectativas criollas respecto del alter ego del monarca en Indias y de los medios retóricos y poéticos que la élite criolla empleó para reivindicarse a través del panegírico de la máxima autoridad virreinal.

This book examines historical evidence from the last 2000 years to analyse earthquakes in the eastern Mediterranean and Middle East. Early chapters review techniques of historical seismology, while the main body of the book comprises a catalogue of more than 4000 earthquakes identified from historical sources. Each event is supported by textual evidence extracted from primary sources and translated into English. Covering southern Rumania, Greece, Turkey, Lebanon, Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Iraq, the book documents past seismic events, places them in a broad tectonic framework, and provides essential information for those attempting to prepare for, and mitigate the effects of, future earthquakes and tsunamis in these countries. This volume is an indispensable reference for researchers studying the seismic history of the eastern Mediterranean and Middle East, including archaeologists, historians, earth scientists, engineers and earthquake hazard analysts. A parametric catalogue of these seismic events can be downloaded from www.cambridge.org/9780521872928.
