Reseña del libro:Arsuaga Laborde, Diego. Pedro Fernández de Velasco, primer conde de Haro. Un estudio de la figura de un ricohombre en la Castilla del Cuatrocientos. Madrid, Publicep, 2018, 404 págs. ISBN: 978-84-09-02872-6.

AbstractThis article deals with the complex historical problem that concerns the study of municipal boundaries and demarcations in the border area of Gúdar-Maestrazgo in the Crown of Aragon during the late medieval period. The main contribution is found in the records kept in the Notary Archives of Morella (Castelló) that we include as proof of the centuries-long lawsuits and the severe conflict between the inhabitants of one or the other territory that took place due to issues of territorial limits.

AbstractThe Order of the Knights of the Hospital absorbed several monasteries that already existed in the period prior to her introduction into the Crown of Castile. They were small family monasteries of limited size. Contact maintained by the Hospitaller brethren with large monastic entities for purely economic reasons were more common than with these smaller ones. Confrontations and lawsuits concerning specifically material issues took place primarily in the last quarter of the twelfth century and the first half of the thirteenth century. As a general rule, they were resolved by private agreements. Usually, a single deal solved all problems the Hospitallers had with each monastery. There are also cases of some very powerful monasteries with which there was a succession of confrontations. The Cistercian monks seem to have caused particularly serious problems for the Order of Saint John.

Reseña del libro: Beceiro Pita, Isabel (Directora), La espiritualidad y la configuración de los reinos ibéricos (siglos XII-XV). Madrid. Editorial Dykinson, S.L., 2018, 363 págs. ISBN: 978-84-9148-617-6.

AbstractA series of important changes and transformations in the organizational structure of the Crown of Castile took place during the fourteenth century and led to an increase in financial, logistical and military resources. This process which ocurred at the same time in other Iberian and European territories produced an increase in the capability to garner and maintain military forces through time and space. As well, it gave way to a change in the organization and the process of war, whose dimensions grew in every sense. In the end, the changes resulted in a long-term evolutionary process during the late Middle Ages that concluded in the rise of a permanent army as an instrument of power in the nascent modern state.

El Libro de los Juramentos del Ayuntamiento de Toledo es considerado uno de los códices más importantes custodiados en el Archivo Municipal de la ciudad, si bien, aunque los estudios referentes a su contenido se han tenido en cuenta desde hace décadas, no ha sido el caso en lo referente a su aportación artística. Los folios iluminados y enmarcados con bellas orlas han fascinado a todos los que, por alguna razón, se acercaron al manuscrito toledano, por lo que nuestro principal objetivo ha sido analizar desde el punto de vista estético, estilístico e iconográfico el conjunto de repertorios iluminados.En el proceso de estudio ha sido fundamental el análisis comparativo con otros códices que hemos considerado contemporáneos, pues en base a la fecha de renovación del volumen manuscrito, la diligencia del último folio apunta al año de 1594. De igual manera hemos podido concluir una importante conexión estilística y técnica con las nuevas fórmulas de iluminación, iniciadas en el scriptorium del monasterio de El Escorial desde el último cuarto del quinientos.AbstractThe Book of Vows of the City Hall of Toledo is considered one of the most important codex kept in the Archive of the city. The studies regarding its content have been already analyzed for decades, but its artistic contribution has been neglected. The illuminated pages, beautifully framed, have fascinated all those who have approached the Toledo manuscript. Our main objective has been to analyze from the aesthetic, stylistic and iconographic point of view the set of illuminated repertoires.This article will stablish new relations with other codices that we have considered contemporary, according to the date of renewal of the book: the year 1594. We have been able to link this work stylistically and technically with the new formulas of illumination, started at the scriptorium of the monastery of El Escorial during the last quarter of the five hundred.

El artículo revisa la construcción de imágenes institucionales del Estado argentino sobre la Patagonia. Toma fuentes de la conquista y organización inicial del territorio. Las mismas se presentan en dos grupos: las científicas, obras de naturalistas que acompañaron la conquista patagónica; y las censales, que proponen una exploración sobre la visualización de datos que reconocen como representativos del país.Se analiza el dibujo como lenguaje y herramienta del proceso retórico nacional, viendo cómo naturaliza una forma específica de comprensión del territorio, en función de un ordenamiento estatal que implicaba una incorporación jerárquica y desigual. AbstractThe paper reviews the construction of institutional images of Argentinean State over Patagonia. It takes resources from the initial territory conquest and organization.

El objetivo del presente artículo es hacer una revisión de la iconografía del templo de Hathor en Deir el-Medina, así como de su conjunto como espacio de expresión artística para un fin religioso. Se trata de un estudio no exhaustivo de la iconografía del templo a través de las fuentes primarias y secundarias, prestando especial atención al estudio de las escenas de ofrenda. La iconografía del templo es una prueba de su importancia durante los ritos de Djeme y de la «Bella Fiesta del Valle», así como de la legitimación del poder de los reyes Ptolomeos.AbstractThe aim of this article is to review the iconography of the Temple of Hathor in Deir el-Medina, as well its role as a space of artistic expression for a religious purpose.

The iconography of the temple is a proof of its importance during the Djeme rites and the «Beautiful Feast of the Valley», and legitimation of the power of the Ptolemaic kings.
