Cet ouvrage analyse le rôle médiateur de l’Espagne dans et pour l’Europe occidentale, à partir du royaume wisigoth de Tolède. Autrement dit, depuis la civilisation originale de l’Espagne entre 589, année du IVe Concile de Tolède qui voit la conversion de tout le peuple wisigoth au catholicisme, jusqu’à la chute brutale du royaume sous les coups de l’invasion islamique. Paradoxalement, cet écroulement aura servi le rayonnement européen des hommes d’Espagne, de leur idéologie, de leurs institutions, de leurs manuscrits et donc de leurs œuvres littéraires, à travers tout l’espace culturel européen, dans une dispersion féconde de l’héritage de cette Espagne wisigothique dont l’influence n’a cessé de s’exercer sur la genèse de la culture médiévale et moderne à travers l’Europe.

Desde el mito griego –los rebaños de Gerión– al Honrado Concejo de la Mesta, la Península Ibérica ha sido famosa tierra de pastores. Sin embargo, la importancia social y económica de esta granjería –y de su modalidad más característicamente hispana, la trashumancia–, es difícil de conceptualizar históricamente, porque todo lo pastoril no sólo elude al historiador, sino que resulta opaco a su mirada: enseres perecederos y viviendas temporales, modos de vida cuasi nómadas y, sobre todo, actividades regidas por usos consuetudinarios. De hecho, en los estudios sobre la Mesta, se suele prestar más atención al reflejo de la actividad ganadera en el ámbito urbano que a los testimonios cotidianos de mayorales, gañanes y zagales, las dificultades de la actividad cañariega y la repercusión social y cultural de sus modos de vida. Este libro tiene como propósito identificar los orígenes de la actividad pastoril en la Península y determinar su importancia económica y social en distintos periodos históricos antes de que la Mesta, organizada por el rey Alfonso X, alcanzase su primera edad de oro en época de los Reyes Católicos y los Austrias mayores.

When Philip V prevailed over his rival Archduke Charles of Austria in 1713, the Spanish Bourbon dynasty attempted to create a new power elite, based on a more professionalized, modern, and educated military officer corps. At the same time, the Bourbons wanted to govern by relying on 'men of letters, ' who were well educated in a modern, enlightened curriculum. Both the military and the men of letters were often drawn from the provincial elite, not the traditional aristocracy, and they would form the core of the centralized Bourbon state, replacing the 'composite monarchy.' These groups emerged first in Spain and later the empire to defend and govern the Spanish Atlantic world. In the years after the French invasion of the Iberian Peninsula, a struggle in Spain and America developed over who would rule. Writers and lawyers produced new legislation to radically transform the Spanish world. Military officers would defend the monarchy in this new era of imperial competition. Additionally, they would govern. From the start, the rise of these political actors in the Spanish world was an uneven process. Military officers came to being as a new and somewhat solid corps. In contrast, the rise of men of letters confronted constant opposition. Rooted elites in both Spain and Peru resisted any attempts to curtail their power and prerogatives and undermined reform. As a consequence, men of letters found limited spaces in which to exercise their new authority, but they aimed for more, paving the way for decades of unrest. Monica Ricketts emphasizes the continuities and connections between the Spanish worlds on both sides of the Atlantic and the ways in which liberal men of letters failed to create a new institutional order in which the military would be subjected to civilian rule.

In Warriors for a Living , Idan Sherer examines the experience of the Spanish infantry during the formative period of the Italian Wars. Decades of clashes between Spain and France transformed Italy into a crucible of military tactics and technology and brought about the emergence of the Spanish infantry tercios as Europe’s finest military force for more than a century. From their recruitment, through the complexities of everyday life in the army and culminating in the potential brutality of soldiering, the book offers a fresh and much needed exploration, analysis and, at times, reconsideration of what it meant to be a professional soldier in early modern Europe.
