In the Late Middle Ages, artillery became a key element of military tactics. Monarchy, nobility and government institutions were aware of the need to employ the services of craftsmen specialised in the art of building, repairing and using firearms. This study analyses the working and professional reality of these craftsmen using the biography of the Barcelona foundryman and cannon maker, Joan Palou. The numerous written sources located in the Historical Archive of the City and in the Archive of Notarial Protocols, have made it possible to trace a detailed portrait of his professional activity —and thus, of the first cannon makers— in the early days of artillery making. The inventory of his widow’s goods, made in 1526 and transcribed at the end of the article, offers a detailed description of the craftsman’s workshop and his work tools, of his personal property and real estate and of the documentary archive he kept in a corner of his house.

This essay proposes, first, a revision of the concept of frontier as concerns limen, “threshold”, going beyond the concept of limes, or boundary. It is proposed that this threshold extends chronologically beyond the 15th century, surpassing the contours of Europe in its American projection, from Mexico to Chile. Secondly, the publication of G. Guarda’s book La Edad Media de Chile (The Middle Ages of Chile) gives us the opportunity to reflect on this last frontier and its characteristics. Finally, in a path that Guarda does not explore, this essay proposes that the tradition of Canto a lo Humano in Chile, part of the identity of the peasant communities of the Central Valley region, has “medieval echoes”.
本文首先提出对边界概念的修正，即超越边界或边界的概念，将边界概念作为limen，即“门槛”。有人提出，这一阈值按时间顺序延伸至15世纪之后，超越了从墨西哥到智利的欧洲在其美洲投影中的轮廓。其次，瓜尔达(G. Guarda)的著作《智利的中世纪》(La Edad Media de Chile)的出版，让我们有机会反思这片最后的边疆及其特点。最后，在瓜尔达没有探索的道路上，这篇文章提出了智利的“人类之诗”的传统，这是中央山谷地区农民社区身份的一部分，具有“中世纪的回声”。

In this article we will follow the medieval childhood since the caring of the expecting mothers to the first foods, steps, movements, words and diseases of children. Medieval medical treaties play an important role throughout all this process.

This article examines the evolution in medieval English literature of the Recapitulatio, an organizing narrative principle often used in apocalyptic writings, starting with John’s Revelation. This structural pattern combined a repetitive but expanding series of correlations with a centripetal fragmentation of discourse to convey revelatory messages in which prophecy involved past and present to unlock the future. In Middle English, the recapitulation technique evolved from eschatological concern to social and moral teaching, but its apocalyptic undertone was still evident in the confluence with futurist judgment. The article attempts to show the traces of this narrative model in spiritual and allegorical works of the late medieval period, especially Piers Plowman where social criticism is reinforced by the eschatological significance of this device.

This work examines violent actions and crimes committed in the farmlands around Cordoba, in the south of the Crown of Castile, during the Late Middle Ages. The first section deals with the sources used in this study, especially Cordoba’s municipal archive and the records of court cases preserved in the archive of the Chancellery in Granada —a hitherto under-exploited source of information for the kingdom of Cordoba. Subsequently, I shall present some examples of personal confrontations that began with insults and threats and often led to physical assaults and murder. Then, I shall examine verbal insults and blasphemies, which were often the origins of more serious affrays, as well as their portrayal in the written record.

In the Spring term 2012, I taught two university courses on the history, literature, and culture of medieval Spain. One was a seminar for master’s and doctoral students, entitled Occupy Spanish Medieval Literature: Subversion and Protest in 11th and 12th Century Spain and focused on the most problematic and subversive pieces of medieval Spanish literature. The other was a survey for undergraduate students, entitled Women Inside and Outside the Literary Canon of Medieval Spain; as its title indicates, the latter emphasised the presence/absence of women as authors and agents of cultural life, beyond the historical roles typically considered “feminine”. At the risk of using a cliche, I enjoyed teaching these courses enormously and was very satisfied with the final result: both undergraduate and graduate students attained the objectives of the course and they did so with pleasure, judging from the positive evaluations received at the end of the trimester

This article presents a balance of the achievements that were obtained throughout a decade’s worth of work (2007-2017) by the Middle Ages Historic Studies Seminar (SEHSEM, acronym in Spanish) developed by the Instituto de Investigaciones Historicas of the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM), and which focuses on the three main areas of the Mexican university: research, teaching and dissemination. Even though the balance considers important achievements such as the integration of a specialized bibliographic collection, the considerable number of graduates in the field of Medieval studies or the appearance of published works on the matter, the analysis also shows that there are still important tasks to be carried out such as the strengthening of liaisons with Latin America and the Anglo-Saxon world.

Prior to its extinction due to the Disputation of Tortosa, the city of Barbastro had a Jewish community about three hundred inhabitants. Within that community, there was a large body of negotiators who dealt with the movement of capital, the clothing trade for domestic consumption, and the trade of equine cattle (donkeys, mules and nags) which was essential for the transport of goods. Their credit hinterland coincided with the area of influence of the annual fair. In that context, the Avincacez lineage constituted a paradigm of the ruling classes’ business mentality of the Jewish quarter. This lineage was represented by three members: Duran, Nicim and Haym who were specialists in the textile business (drapers).

The aim of this article is to study the collectives of religious women who lived at the end of the Middle Ages in Andalusia. Researches about this item multiplied in the last years, but the analysis has been made from an institutional perspective. The novelty of my investigation is based on the analysisof their economic basis and their religious vocation, as on their family ties that their lifestyle allowed them to keep unlike religious women living in enclosed environments. Even they didn’t renounce to maternity. Enter into the privacy of religious women’s lives has been possible thanks to the information contained in the compilation of Public Notaries’ official records preserved at the Municipal Archive of Jerez de la Frontera.
