En 1520 y en 1534 veían la luz sendas traducciones al alemán de “Celestina”. A pesar de ser obra de un mismo autor, Christof Wirsung, se trata de dos traducciones por completo diferentes: a nivel lingüístico, a nivel ideológico, a nivel estético, a nivel material y a nivel de la teoría traductoria en que se apoyan. A partir de estas difere…[Read more]

Las fortalezas son uno de los más prominentes hitos del paisaje bajomedieval gallego. Pambre (Palas de Rei) es una de ellas, envuelta en la fama de ser una de las pocas capaz de resistir el ataque irmandiño. Sus constructores son los Ulloa, uno de los linajes nobles gallegos más distinguidos de los últimos siglos del medievo. La fortaleza de Pam…[Read more]

On June 17, 2018, the Aquarius, a boat carrying refugees, docked in Valencia. The wave of solidarity that ran through the city and neighboring towns in response to this arrival was intermingled with ignorance of a phenomenon—migration across the Mediterranean Sea—that has been a historical constant, and which indexes both the aspirations and fea…[Read more]

This article explores the changes to the legal status of Scots in ‘English Ireland’ after the advent of the Scottish Wars of Independence (c.1295). There appears to have been a drastic change in status as the Scots in Ireland were not explicitly labelled before 1295, but were afterwards and they were arrested on sight usually.

The plea, or defensive claim, was that the plaintiff in a court case was an unfranchised Gael (Hibernica/Hibernicus) and therefore could not sue a civil…[Read more]

By tracing how Khāqāni of Shirvān (d. 1199) brought the aesthetics of incarceration to bear on Islamic legal regulations pertaining to non-Muslim communities (ahl al-zemma), I offer a new perspective on…[Read more]
