The vast transformation of the Roman world at the end of antiquity has been a subject of broad scholarly interest for decades, but until now no book has focused specifically on the Iberian Peninsula in the period as seen through an archaeological lens. Given the sparse documentary evidence available, archaeology holds the key to a richer understanding of the developments of the period, and this book addresses a number of issues that arise from analysis of the available material culture, including questions of the process of Christianisation and Islamisation, continuity and abandonment of Roman urban patterns and forms, the end of villas and the growth of villages, and the adaptation of the population and the elites to the changing political circumstances.

En el siglo XVI, la Península Ibérica no quedó al margen del gran debate teológico que sacudía Europa. En España y Portugal se leían, comentaban y discutían los escritos de la Reforma. Su recepción no fue una mera aceptación pasiva de ideas extranjeras, sino el fruto de una interacción con planteamientos espirituales autóctonos que no puede ser reducida a la polarización entre católicos y protestantes. Las redes de creyentes evolucionaron al mismo tiempo que las doctrinas reformadas y que las estrategias de contención desarrolladas por los reyes y la Inquisición. Las contribuciones de este libro permiten un nuevo balance de la situación de la Reforma en el conjunto de la Península Ibérica, a la vez que ponen en relación a los círculos de exiliados con las comunidades del interior. Au xvie siècle, la péninsule Ibérique n'est pas restée à la marge du grand débat théologique qui secouait l’Europe. En Espagne et au Portugal, les écrits de la Réforme y furent aussi lus, commentés et discutés. Au-delà de la simple acceptation passive d’idées étrangères, leur réception se confronta aux approches spirituelles autochtones et ne saurait se réduire à la simple polarisation entre catholiques et protestants. Les réseaux de croyants évoluèrent en parallèle des doctrines réformées et des stratégies de contrôle mises en place par les rois et l’Inquisition. Les contributions de cet ouvrage permettent une nouvelle lecture de la situation de la Réforme dans l'ensemble de la péninsule Ibérique, tout en reliant les sphères exilées aux communautés de l’intérieur des deux pays.

"Medieval thinkers were convinced that they themselves were still citizens of the empire, which had been founded by Augustus." This book is devoted to substantiate this claim of William Heckscher. It does so by tracing Antiquity’s afterlife in various genres on the Iberian Peninsula. The book is a manifest for a special transformation and, moreover, continuation of antiquity in the so-called Middle Ages in Spain, going against the commonly held view that only the European Renaissance did justice to and came to the rescue of Antiquity. It describes how the Visigoths preserved classical Antiquity in the 6th and 7th century, how Roman influence manifests itself on the Pórtico de la Gloria of Santiago de Compostela, how the Iberian Peninsula was reluctant to adopt the European Gothic Art around 1200 and how the Catholic Kings went back to forms and ideas of late Antiquity around 1500. In doing so this book offers an alternative to the influential and, so far, widely accepted concept of the reception of Antiquity, which is Erwin Panofky’s Principle of disjunction

Imagining Iberia in English and Castilian Medieval Romance offers a broad disciplinary, linguistic, and national focus by analyzing the literary depiction of Iberia in two European vernaculars that have rarely been studied together. Emily Houlik-Ritchey employs an innovative comparative methodology that integrates the understudied Castilian literary tradition with English literature. Intentionally departing from the standard "influence and transmission" approach, Imagining Iberia challenges that standard discourse with modes drawn from Neighbor Theory to reveal and navigate the relationships among three selected medieval romance traditions. This welcome volume uncovers an overemphasis in prior scholarship on the relevance of "crusading" agendas in medieval romance, and highlights the shared investments of Christians and Muslims in Iberia's political, creedal, cultural, and mercantile networks in the Mediterranean world.

Este libro gira en torno al origen y desarrollo de la noción de guerra santa en la Edad Media peninsular. Se propone identificar un significativo elenco de testimonios terminológicos e iconográficos, relativos al concepto o realidad de la categoría «guerra santa», en fuentes de muy diversa naturaleza. Esos testimonios, debidamente contextualizados, ayudan a profundizar en un tema todavía pendiente de mayor seguimiento conceptual y metodológico. Solo a partir de esta identificación de recursos instrumentales es posible avanzar en el análisis necesariamente comparativo, diferenciado geográfica y cronológicamente, acerca de una compleja realidad que sirvió de sustrato esencial en los procesos ideológicos de legitimación política a lo largo de la Edad Media peninsular.

A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula is the second comparative history of a new subseries with a regional focus, published by the Coordinating Committe of the International Comparative Literature Association. As its predecessor for East-Central Europe, this two-volume history distances itself from traditional histories built around periods and movements, and explores, from a comparative viewpoint, a space considered to be a powerful symbol of inter-literary relations. Both the geographical pertinence and its symbolic condition are obviously discussed, when not even contested. --Book Jacket.

Beautifully illustrated throughout, this English translation of Désiré Charnay's record of his travels among the ancient cities of Mexico & Central America was first published in 1887. Born in France, Charnay travelled extensively through commissions from the French government & with private patronage. He made several visits to the region between 1857 & 1886, producing in his work both a journal of his adventures & an archaeological examination of past civilisations. Beginning in Mexico, Charnay notably examines the ancient city of Tula & also the history of Yucatán, discussing aspects of Toltec & Mayan culture. He explores the ruins of Chichen Itza, Kabah & Yaxchilan, among many other settlements. Surveying art, pyramid architecture, ancient customs & history based on extant sources, this account was a major contribution in its field & remains of interest to scholars of Latin American archaeology.

In this book, Katina Lillios provides an up-to-date synthesis of the rich histories of the peoples who lived on the Iberian Peninsula between 1,400,000 (the Paleolithic) and 3,500 years ago (the Bronze Age) as revealed in their art, burials, tools, and monuments. She highlights the exciting new discoveries on the Peninsula, including the evidence for some of the earliest hominins in Europe, Neanderthal art, interbreeding between Neanderthals and modern humans, and relationships to peoples living in North Africa, the Mediterranean, and Western Europe. This is the first book to relate the ancient history of the Peninsula to broader debates in anthropology and archaeology. Amply illustrated and written in an accessible style, it will be of interest to archaeologists and students of prehistoric Spain and Portugal.

Western hemisphere varieties of Spanish and Portuguese show substantial similarity in the patterning of sociolinguistic variation and change. Caribbean and coastal dialects of Latin American Spanish share several variables with Brazilian Portuguese (e.g., deletion of coda -s, -r). These variables also show similar social distribution in Hispanic and Lusophone communities: formal styles and high status speakers are consonantally conservative, while higher deletion is associated with working class speakers and informal styles. The regions that show these sociolinguistic parallels also share comm
