  • Federico Palomo (Ed.) La Memoria Del Mundo: Clero, Erudición Y Cultura Escrita En El Mundo Ibérico (Siglos XVI-XVIII)
    Federico Palomo (ed.) La memoria del mundo: clero, erudición y cultura escrita en el mundo ibérico (siglos XVI-XVIII). Cuadernos de Historia Moderna. Anejos. Serie Monografías, XIII (2014). ISBN: 9788466934930 Bruno Feitler1 It was part of the strategies adopted by every important family in the Iberian Ancien Régime, whenever possible, to dedicate one or more of their children to the Church. Such ordinations were the result of specific vows, strategies of prestige, or simply a way of keeping the family estate undivided. More than one foreign traveler, in his chronicles, drew attention to the high proportion of priests, friars and nuns among the population of Lisbon, for example. Because of their number, but mainly because of their specific status and the role they played, the men and women of the Church constituted an important social group in Iberian society. They deeply influenced the economy and politics of those kingdoms, not to mention the obvious religious and disciplinary roles that they played. Furthermore, between 1500 and 1520, 40% of the books printed in the Iberian Peninsula were religious ones (not taking into account Bibles, but including printed papal bulls). According to Wilkinson, this ratio increased to 46% between 1580 and 1600. Obviously, the men and women of the Church did not write works (printed or handwritten) that were related solely to religious subjects, yet, nevertheless, both these population numbers and publishing data pinpoint the importance of religion, and consequently of the clergy, in the written culture of the Iberian early modern world. The volume edited by Federico Palomo and entitled The Memory of the World: Clergy, Erudition and Written Culture in the Iberian World (16th-18th centuries) provides us with an innovative discussion of the role played by clerics in the production, circulation and eventual printed publication of texts about a broad series of subjects during the Iberian early modern period, ranging from theology to comedies, or from chronicles to scientific treaties.

    Imprints of Devotion: Print and the Passion in the Iberian World (1472-1598) By © 2019 Christina Elizabeth Ivers Submitted to the graduate degree program in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________ Chair, Isidro J. Rivera ________________________________ Patricia W. Manning ________________________________ Bruce Hayes ________________________________ Robert Bayliss ________________________________ Jonathan Mayhew ________________________________ Emily C. Francomano Date Defended: May 6, 2019 ii The dissertation committee for Christina E. Ivers certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Imprints of Devotion: Print and the Passion in the Iberian World (1472-1598) ________________________________ Chair, Isidro J. Rivera Date approved: May 16, 2019 iii Abstract “Imprints of Devotion: Print and the Passion in the Iberian World (1472-1598)” takes a comparative approach to demonstrate that the printed books at the center of its chapters –La dolorosa passio del nostre redemptor Jesucrist (Barcelona: Pere Posa, 1508), Le premier livre de Amadis de Gaule (Paris: Denis Janot, 1540), and a Latin translation of the Brevísima relación de la destruyción de las Indias (Frankfurt: Theodor de Bry, 1598)– possess shared material elements that either evoke or intentionally depart from typographical conventions that characterize a corpus of late fifteenth-century Iberian devotional literature related to Christ’s Passion. Rather than dismiss such repetitions as arbitrary, I propose they are instances of material intertextuality. In this dissertation, material intertextuality accounts for previous reading, viewing, emotive, and recitative experiences related to Christ’s Passion that readers recalled while interacting with early printed books.

    Book Reviews 355 Alexander S. Wilkinson and Alejandra Ulla Lorenzo, eds., A Maturing Market: The Iberian Book World in the First Half of the Seventeenth Century. Library of the Written Word, volume 59; The Handpress World, volume 44. Leiden: Brill, 2017. Pp. xvi + 286. Hb, $139.00. The history of book production and consumption in seventeenth-century E urope is a subject that has recently experienced considerable fortune. Studies on the Iberian book world have received a great boost through Iberian Books, the University College Dublin project led since 2006 by Alexander Wilkinson. Together with Alejandra Ulla Lorenzo, he edited the three volumes of the noteworthy bibliography Iberian Books – Libros Ibéricos (Leiden: Brill, 2010–15), which analytically lists the books published in Spanish, Portuguese or in the areas of Iberian influence until 1650. The two scholars are now the editors of A Maturing Market, a new volume that brings together fourteen interdisciplinary essays focusing on the evolution of the book world in the Golden Age of the Iberian printing production. The book is divided into four main sections, the first of which is titled “Sur- veys of the Book Trade.” In the first chapter, Alexander Wilkinson provides an overview of the structure of the Iberian book world during the so-called “Iron Century,” based on the analysis of the data collected by the Iberian Books proj- ect. The second essay, by César Manrique, deals with the circulation of books. The contribution analyzes the case of the city of Antwerp, one of the most im- portant book production centers of the Early Modern Age.

  • INTRODUCTION Iberian Books Is an Ongoing Bibliographical Research
    INTRODUCTION Iberian Books is an ongoing bibliographical research project based at University College Dublin’s Centre for the History of the Media. It has been funded through a generous grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation under their Scholarly Communications and Information Tech- nology Scheme. The overall objective of the project is to produce a foundational listing of all books published in Spain, Portugal and the New World or printed elsewhere in Spanish or Portuguese during the Golden Age, 1472–1700. In 2010, Brill published the project’s survey of printing in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, recording some 19,900 bibliographically distinct items, surviving in 104,000 copies in 1,320 libraries worldwide. The present two vol- umes represent the results of the latest phase of the project’s activities, extending the coverage up to the middle of the seventeenth century. Around 45,000 items are recorded, along with the locations of some 215,000 copies. Iberian Books has brought together information scattered and fragmented across a host of online, published and manuscript sources. It has incorporated references from major biblio- graphical works and specialist articles, including the momumental Manual del librero hispano- americano, compiled in 28 volumes by Antonio Palau y Dulcet.1 It has drawn also from the major collective cataloguing projects in Spain and Portugal, the Catálogo Colectivo del Patrimonio Bibliográfico Español (hereafter CCPB) and the Base Nacional de Dados Bib- liográficos (hereafter PORBASE).2 A list of the principal reference works consulted can be found following the introductory essay. The project has also mined and processed information from the online, card, and printed catalogues of close to 1,500 libraries worldwide.

  • Max Planck Studies in Global Legal History of the Iberian Worlds
    Knowledge of the Pragmatici Max Planck Studies in Global Legal History of the Iberian Worlds Editor Thomas Duve The volumes published in the Max Planck Studies in Global Legal History of the Iberian Worlds are dedicated to the legal histories of areas which have been in contact with the Iberian empires during the early modern and modern periods – in Europe, the Americas, Asia and Africa. Its focus is global in the sense that it is not limited to the imperial spaces as such but goes beyond to look at the globalisation and localisation of normative knowledge within the spaces related to these imperial formations. It is global also in another sense: The volumes in the series pay special attention to the cultural translations of normative knowledge in different places and moments, decentering classical approaches on legal history and opening up new perspectives on the production of normative knowledge. All of the monographs, edited volumes and text editions in the series are peer reviewed and published in print and online.

  • The Publication History of Anthony Munday's Palmerin D'oliva, Which Has Never Been Reprinted Since 1637
    JORDI SANCHEZ-MARTi The Publication History ofAnthony Munday's Palmerin d'Oliva LA LITERATURA de tematica caballeresca disjrut6 de una notable populari­ dad en lnglaterra durante la etapa tardomedieval que tuvo continuidad tras la introduccion de la imprenta a.finales del siglo xv. Este cambio tecnol6gico, sin embargo, priv6 algenero del dinamismo y vitalidad que lo habfan caracterizado en la etapa anterior de difusi6n manuscrita, como demuestra que Ios impresores fueran incapaces de renovar el catalogo de tftulos con obras nuevas. Tal es asi que a principios de la decada de 1570 el valor comercial de Ios romances cabal­ lerescos ingleses habia quedado prticticamente agotado, pero no el interes del publico por consumir literatura caballeresca. Para seguir explotando el tir6n comercial de esta tematica literaria, los impresores apostaron por diversi.ficar la oferta de textos y empezaron a publicar traducciones inglesas de Ios libros de cabal­ lerias castellanos. Una de las primeras traducciones en aparecer foe la del Pal­ merin de Olivia (Salamanca 1511), realizada por Anthony Munday a partir de la versi6nfrancesa de Jean Maugin (Paris 1546) y publicada en Londres en 1588. Este articulo reconstruye la historia impresa del Palmerin de Olivia ingles, texto que fue reeditado en tres ocasiones a lo largo de los cincuenta affos siguientes (1597, 1615/1616, 1637), pero que ha quedado sumido en el olvido desde enton­ ces. Aqui estudio cada una de Ias ediciones del texto de Munday, aclaro la rela­ ci6n textual entre ellas y rescato las circunstancias hist6ricas de su produccion. THE LONGEST-LASTING GENRE in English literary history is chivalric ro­ mance, composed in England at least since the twelfth century and pop­ ular throughout the early modern period.~ At the end of the Middle Ages the advent of the printing press played an important role in guaranteeing the dissemination of the medieval romances of chivalry.
