Occasional List 15 SPAIN & THE SPANISH EMPIRE JUDITH HODGSON 11 Stanwick Road London W14 8TL Tel.: 44 (0) 20 7603 7414 E-mail: [email protected] Web: www.judithhodgson.com No. 48 Vergara y Alba List 15 1. ASTARLOA y AGUIRRE, Pablo Pedro: Apología de la lengua bascongada, ó ensayo crítico filosófico de su perfeccion y antigüedad so- bre todas las que se conocen: en respuesta á los reparos propuestos en el Diccionario geográfico histórico de España, tomo segundo, palabra Naba- rra. Small 4to. XXIV, 452 pp. Contemporary calf (extremities worn). Madrid, Geronimo Ortega, 1803. £ 100. Palau 18774. Salvá 2200, “escaso.” The author mounts a spirited defence of the Basque language to contest the writings of Joaquin Tra- ggia’s Breve noticia de Navarra, inserta en el Diccionario histórico geográfico de España de la Real Academia de la Historia. “The late eighteenth and early nineteenth century witnessed a flowering of interest in the Basque language within the Basque County . The author was primarily concerned to demonstrate that Basque had anciently been the language of all Spain, and that it best preserved the ‘perfect’ state of the ancestral human language. Astarloa, a native of Durango in Bizkaia, was not entirely devoid of analytical abilities . .” (R.L. Trask, The history of Basque. London 1997, p. 52). Andrew Dalby (Dictionary of Languages, pp. 76-7) notes that “Basque whalers and cod fishermen regularly spent their summers around the mouth of the St Lawrence river from the 16th century onwards. The French explo- rer, Jacques Cartier, found in 1542 that the Amerindians of the St Lawrence shores could speak a kind of Basque . Having learnt it in contact with the early Basque mariners, the Indians naturally used it in speaking to the French and English explorers who came along later.” Some pencil markings. Short tear repaired in upper margin of p. 27/28. 2.

Palau 7973 “su éxito, tanto en Portugal como en España, fué muy lisonjero.” Aguilar Piñal III, 1584. (Cf. Innocêncio VII, 304, “maior acolhimento obteve ainda en Hespanha” & Pinto de Mattos pp. 11-12, “obra estimada.”) The work, which first appeared in Portuguese in 1779 as O Feliz independente do mundo e da fortuna, tells of the adventures, part fact, part mythical, of the early 13th century Polish ruler, Wladyslaw III, nicknamed Spindleshanks. Written in the style of Fénelon’s Télémaque, it enjoyed huge success in 18th cen- tury Spain and Portugal. Wladyslaw has been described as a “ruler of talent and energy, a just and capable administrator” (Cambridge History of Poland to 1696, p. 89), and though literary critics have been less than kind about Teodoro de Almeida’s literary style, the author makes interesting and precise scientific and astronomical observations throughout his novel (see Hernani Cidade, Lições de Cultura e Literatura Portuguesa, vol. II, pp. 228 - 331). The Polish connection is perhaps not surprising; in 1729 the Emperor Charles VI of Austria proposed D. Manuel de Bragança, brother of D. João V, as a candi- date to occupy the throne of Poland, though later support for him was withdrawn (see Ursula Kosińska, “Could a Portuguese Prince become King of Po- land? The candidacy of Don Manuel de Bragança for the Polish throne in the years 1729-33” in The Slavonic and East European Review, Vol.94, No. 3, July 2016). Vols. I & II are the fifth printing, and Vol. III the sixth. The attractive plates were drawn by Manuel de la Cruz, Maella and D. Velezquez, and en- graved by J. Ballester, Simon Brieva, Muntaner, Fabregas, M.S. Carmona, José Assensio, Miguel Gamborino, Francisco Marti and J. de la Cruz. Ownership signature on front free end-paper & deleted ownership name on half- title of Vol. III. Front free end-paper spotted, occasional spotting & discolouration throughout Vols.

By 1834, barely ten years after Bulwer the undergraduate was awarded the chancellor's medal for English verse at Cambridge, Bulwer the literary lion and best-seller was hailed by the American Quarterly Review as ‘without doubt, the most popular writer now living.’ In his preface to the less flamboyant edition of 1860 the author, notoriously thin-skinned, attributed the original edition’s lack of popularity to prejudice against literary works believed to be prized for their illustrations. A Spanish translation appeared in 1845, translated by Sra. D***, and another in 1860. 8. CALDERÓN de la BARCA, Pedro: Comedia famosa. El Principe Constante. Small 4to. (16) ff.

Menéndez y Pelayo considered this to be one of the playwright’s finest works and of those written for the Spanish theatre (Calderón y su teatro [Madrid 1884], p. 217). It was probably written in late 1628 / 1629.

    Carlos Marichal, “The Spanish American Silver Peso: Export Commodity and Global Money of the Ancien Regime (16th-18th centuries” ) draft of essay published in Steven Topik, Carlos Marichal and Zephyr Frank titled Latin American Commodity Chains and the Building of Global Economy, (XVI-XXth Centuries), Duke University Press, 2006, pp. 25-52. The Spanish American Silver Peso: Export Commodity and Global Money of the Ancien Regime (16th-18th centuries) Carlos Marichal The legacy of the monetary regime of the Spanish empire is not only an important chapter in world economic history but also key to an understanding of premodern monetary systems. The international diffusion of the Spanish American silver peso between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries transformed it into what could be termed as an almost universal, metallic money. The reasons for the global trade and circulation of this commodity money can be explained by the dynamics of supply and demand. On the supply side, the silver mines of Spanish America were the richest in the world and allowed for a voluminous and rising production of high-value bars and coins for several centuries. On the demand side, it is clear that silver (and gold) were long the most highly valued money commodities in ancien regime societies and economies since metallic currencies tended to be dominant as medium of exchange in a large range of transactions. In this regard, analysis of the extraordinary historical and geographical trajectories of the silver peso in the Americas, Europe, the Mideast and Asia between the sixteenth and early nineteenth centuries can elucidate important aspects of premodern processes of globalization.

  • 1492 Reconsidered: Religious and Social Change in Fifteenth Century Ávila

    1492 Reconsidered: Religious and Social Change in Fifteenth Century Ávila

    1492 RECONSIDERED: RELIGIOUS AND SOCIAL CHANGE IN FIFTEENTH CENTURY ÁVILA by Carolyn Salomons A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland May 2014 © 2014 Carolyn Salomons All Rights Reserved Abstract This dissertation is an assessment of the impact of the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492 on the city of Ávila, in northwestern Castile. The expulsion was the culmination of a series of policies set forth by Isabel I of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon regarding Jewish-Christian relations. The monarchs invoked these policies in order to bolster the faith and religious praxis of Catholics in the kingdoms, especially those Catholics newly converted from Judaism. My work shows how the implementation of these strategies began to fracture the heretofore relatively convivial relations between the confessional groups residing in Ávila. A key component of the Crown’s policies was the creation of a Jewish quarter in the city, where previously, Jews had lived wherever they chose. This transformation of a previously shared civic place to one demarcated clearly by religious affiliation, i.e. the creation of both Jewish and Christian space, had a visceral impact on how Christians related to their former neighbors, and hostilities between the two communities increased in the closing decades of the fifteenth century. Yet at the same time, Jewish appeals to the Crown for assistance in the face of harassment and persecution were almost always answered positively, with the Crown intervening several times on behalf of their Jewish subjects. This seemingly incongruous attitude reveals a key component in the relationship between the Crown and Jews: the “royal alliance.” My work also details how invoking that alliance came at the expense of the horizontal alliances between Abulense Jews and Christians, and only fostered antagonism between the confessional groups.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

Through a large set of probate inventories and accounting books, we have documented the use of a great deal of slaves in farming large noble estates during the 14th and 15th centuries. The defeat of the peasant revolt of 1450–1454 offered to nobles and patricians the opportunity to seize much of the land previously colonized by Mallorcan peasants. This creation of a dispossessed peasantry, combined with new trade demands, led to a transition from slave-powered manorial farms to capitalist olive oil-exporting estates that took advantage of the low-wage workforce reserve. A peculiar feature was the massive use of women’s gangs as olive pickers when olive oil became the main cash-crop exported from the 16th century onwards.

    De Spaanse Successieoorlog En De Slag Bij Oudenaarde (11 Juli 1708)

    — 23 — Frederik Dhondt De Spaanse Successieoorlog en de slag bij Oudenaarde (11 juli 1708) VOORWOORD De Slag bij Oudenaarde openbaarde zich voor het eerst een tiental jaar geleden toen ik bij toeval het eindwerk van Edwin De Lombaerde uit de jaren ’70 in handen kreeg. Dat een gebeurtenis van dergelijke omvang zich had voorgedaan op nauwelijks vijf minuten met de fiets van bij mij thuis frappeerde me enorm, alsook het besef dat ik er bijna niets over wist. Alhoewel de Slag in een internationaal conflict met enige envergure kaderde, bleek de herinnering in de streek danig vervaagd. Sterker nog, je kon op het –nagenoeg intacte– slagveld bijna niets terugvinden over de clash tussen het leger van Lodewijk XIV en de Haagse Alliantie. Gefascineerd door het onderwerp wijdde ik er in het laatste jaar van mijn humaniora aan het Sint-Bernarduscollege mijn eindwerk aan, onder het promotorschap van dhr. Dirk Passchyn. Hierbij werd ik geholpen door de aanwijzingen van Dr. Martine Vermeiren-Vanwelden, die me mijn eerste stapjes in het stadsarchief en door de wirwar aan historische bibliothe- ken hielp zetten en daarin zeker voor een stuk wijlen mijn vader, Dr. Luc Dhondt, wist te vervangen. Op die manier kon ik mijn weg vinden naar de verborgen schatten in de literatuur en de talrijke bronnenuitgaven over de Slag bij Oudenaarde. Niet alleen geschreven, maar ook beeldend materiaal kwam boven. Zo ving ik in de collecties van kunstverzamelaars uit de streek en in catalogi en musea in het buitenland een glimp op van de ontzaglijke hoeveelheid 18de-eeuwse propaganda rond de wapenfeiten van Marlborough en Eugenius.
