Critical edition. Introduction, transcription and thematic and onomastic indexes.

It describes the dynamics of the civil litigation procedures in the various courts of the Kingdom of Valencia. The procedural approach and the great quantity of empirical data provided are the key features of this work. It is aimed mainly to forensic practices and contains numerous deed forms and procedural records.

The institutional history of the Kingdom of Valencia in the times of the Furs is full of large gaps that need to be filled with research. In this sense, this work brings us closer to the daily affairs of the world of the judiciary, one of the most unknown, offering a broad overview of the daily work in the courts. From a diplomatic point of view, the procedural documentation provided in the work is a valuable aid to researchers who initiate the study of any of the various administrative-judicial institutions of the Kingdom of Valencia.

 

15. FRANCH BENAVENT, Ricardo: El capital comercial valenciano en el siglo XVIII, 1989,310 pages.

 

Index

This book contains an in-depth study of the socio-economic behaviour of the eighteenth-century Valencian merchants. The existence of a large capital accumulation is proved by means of 56 post-mortem inventories. The composition of those fortunes is examined, with particular attention to property investments. From the certificates of creation and dissolution of companies, among others, the author makes an approach to the organisation of the benefits of trade, studying their possible evolution throughout the century. However, the core of this work is the detailed monitoring of the activities carried out by about 40 different commercial dynasties.

 

16. CANET APARISI, Teresa: La Magistratura Valenciana (s. XVI-XVII), 1990, 302 pages.

 

Index

This monograph is devoted to the study of the law professionals who served in the Valencian Reial Audiència in the modern times of the fueros. This work addresses the effects of the institution on society and the royal administration in the sixteenth and seventeenth century. At the same time, the relationship and favours between the monarchy and the law professionals, their servers, are explored.

The bureaucratic apparatus that facilitated or hindered -depending on the perspective -the affairs of the judges is explained to better understand the framework of action of these professionals. The triple analysis of the judges as a professional, bureaucratic and social group results in the discovery of some family dynasties forged under the pretext of legal service to the state.

 

17. CATALÁ SANZ, J. A. Y BOIGUES PALOMARES, J.J.: La Biblioteca del Primer Marqués de Dos Aguas, 1707, 1992,365 pages.

 

Index

The publication of the notarial inventory of the library of the first Marquis of Dos Aguas contributes to a better understanding of the reading habits in the 17th century in Valencia. On the one hand, the identification of the books included in the records allows to reconstruct the list of titles and trace the origin of the books. The analysis of the contents helps to discover, on the other hand, the preferences of the readers of the Rabasa de Perellós family and allows to verify their interest in certain subjects, such as treaties about the "reason of state" and Christian politics, emblematic literature, history, the picaresque novel, or the "dialogues". The conservation of a large part of the collection in the Library of the University of Valencia facilitates, finally, direct contact with the works collected here.

 

18. FELIPO ORTS, Amparo: La Universidad de Valencia durante el siglo XVI (1499-1611), 1993,246 pages.

 

Index

This monograph aims at deepening the knowledge of the University of Valencia in the sixteenth century from the institutional, social and teaching perspectives. From the origins of the Estudi and its definitive foundation in 1499, it focuses on the analysis of the different governing and administrative bodies, on the different forces that controlled the institution and on the funding difficulties. It also addresses the field of education through a close monitoring of the content taught in each branch of knowledge, of the intellectual movements that guided them, of the scientific significance of the professors and, to better understand the extent of its impact, of the students' world. The joint treatment of these issues highlights the enormous significance of this institution for the Renaissance Valencian culture.

 

19. MONTEAGUDO ROBLEDO, M. Pilar: La Monarquía ideal. Imágenes de la realeza en la Valencia moderna, 1995, 197 pages.

 

Index

Between reality and desire, the image of the ideal seventeenth-century monarchy is drawn. The modern royal portrait takes elements from tradition and the new enlightened philosophy: a righteous king, wise, brave and beautiful; a beautiful queen, discreet and resigned; and a monarchy that guarantees the progress of the state, public happiness and the spread of the Catholic religion. These are the images evoked by the Valencian subjects in the plastic representations, poetic expressions and sermons to exalt their monarchs.
These pages are an attempt to approach the mental attitudes concerning politics as a frame for analysis to understand the state in its complexity, based on the images and ideology that give form and content to it.Entre la realitat i el desig es dibuixa la imatge de l'ideal monàrquic del set-cents.

Index

This book is a collection of works on the common subject of different types of conflict and repression in the Old Regime. It is based on the partial, direct and indirect results of a funded research project on the conflictive dimension of modern society, and collects information on the Germania of Valencia, the Moorish problems, crime within the clergy, the application of capital punishment in the seventeenth-century Valencia or criminality in the eighteenth-century Galicia. In sum, different sides of this complex prism of conflict in modern times have been the object of this research project.

 

21. G. MAYANS y SISCAR: Epistolario. Mayans y el Barón de Schonberg.

 

Transcription and preliminary study by Santiago Aleixos and Antonio Mestre, 2001, 135 pages.

Index

The year 1730 was a key point in the life of Gregorio Mayans. After his failure in public examinations to the pavordía de Leyes, he left the University of Valencia. At that time he had two options: the French printer Roque de Ville and the Saxon nobleman Baron Schönberg.

Schoenberg was the first speaker of Mayans in Germany. He presented Don Gregorio to Mencke, the editor of the prestigious journal of Leipzig (Acta eruditorum), where the first review of Spanish books in Germany appeared, and to the Dutch editor Pierre d'Hondt. The correspondence which appears now is the testimony of the interest of the cultural world at that time in Spanish culture. It also shows the desire of an avid bibliophile and his contemporary German literary men to know about our cultural past. Basically, it is a proof of the intellectual openness of the Valencian people in the eighteenth to the new currents of learning and historical criticism.

 

22. CATALÁ SANZ, J. A. Y PÉREZ GARCÍA, P.: Los moriscos de Cortes y los Pallás. Documentos para su estudio, 2002, 284 pages.

 

Index

Few places like Cortes de Pallás recall so vividly the tragic fate of the Valencian Moriscos. And possibly no other embodies the most violent side of the so-called "Moorish problem". However, the new converts of this barony have hardly attracted the attention of historians in recent times. The documentation consulted -from which we publish here a selection- sheds light on some interesting aspects of the history of Cortes and its inhabitants. First, it provides new data on episodes of rebellion in the muela de Cortes and allows to formulate some hypotheses about its causes and development. It also allows to reject the idea that the domain of Cortes belonged to the Pallás since the time of the founding of the kingdom. Finally, it provides information on the structure and use of the feudal rights in the barony rights during the 16th and 17th centuries.
