  • Canadian Official Historians and the Writing of the World Wars Tim Cook
    Canadian Official Historians and the Writing of the World Wars Tim Cook BA Hons (Trent), War Studies (RMC) This thesis is submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Humanities and Social Sciences UNSW@ADFA 2005 Acknowledgements Sir Winston Churchill described the act of writing a book as to surviving a long and debilitating illness. As with all illnesses, the afflicted are forced to rely heavily on many to see them through their suffering. Thanks must go to my joint supervisors, Dr. Jeffrey Grey and Dr. Steve Harris. Dr. Grey agreed to supervise the thesis having only met me briefly at a conference. With the unenviable task of working with a student more than 10,000 kilometres away, he was harassed by far too many lengthy emails emanating from Canada. He allowed me to carve out the thesis topic and research with little constraints, but eventually reined me in and helped tighten and cut down the thesis to an acceptable length. Closer to home, Dr. Harris has offered significant support over several years, leading back to my first book, to which he provided careful editorial and historical advice. He has supported a host of other historians over the last two decades, and is the finest public historian working in Canada. His expertise at balancing the trials of writing official history and managing ongoing crises at the Directorate of History and Heritage are a model for other historians in public institutions, and he took this dissertation on as one more burden. I am a far better historian for having known him.

XXVIII (2006) RECENSIONES Y RESEÑAS RECENSIONES Y RESEÑAS 629 Revista de Estudios Histórico-Jurídicos [Sección Recensiones y Reseñas] XXVIII (Valparaíso, Chile, 2006) [pp. 629 - 772] ALTURO, Jesús - BELLÈS, Joan - FONT RIUS, Josep M. - GARCÍA, Yolanda - MUNDÓ, Anscari M., Liber iudicum popularis. Ordenat pel jutge Bonsom de Barcelona (Generalitat de Catalunya, Departament de Justícia i Interior, Barcelona, 2003), 812 págs. Nos encontramos frente a una edición muy importante y extraordinariamente laboriosa de llevar a cabo, en la que resulta necesario combinar conocimientos de Derecho, Historia, Literatura, Filología y Paleografía y Diplomática. El venerable sabio y antiguo catedrático de Historia del Derecho de la Universidad de Barcelona Josep Maria Font Rius sitúa el manuscrito de Bonsom, confeccionado probablemente en Barcelona, en el año 1011 (p. 24). En palabras de Font Rius esta obra de Bonsom recogía una “edición crítica de una de las versiones más caracterizadas de aquel código –el Liber iudiciorum– de entre las elaboradas en Cataluña en los siglos medievales” (p. 19). Por otro lado, señala que hay que modificar sensiblemente el enfoque tradicional de los autores que consideraban ese texto como una expresión oficial y definitiva del reino visigodo, ya que se admite de forma casi generalizada que los monarcas no consiguieron darle validez efectiva en todo el Reino, por lo que obtuvo una escasa y limitada aplicación. De hecho, el excesivo grado de romanización y su elevada técnica le hicieron poco accesible a la masa de pobladores, de forma que sólo tuvo aplicación efectiva en la Corte y en los círculos oficiales de las provincias o en los centros de poder (pp.
