L. - Ardemáns, 63 - Madrid, 1977 PRESENTACION Como fruto natural del vigoroso desarrollo que en volumen y calidad ha cobrado durante los últimos lustros la historiografía hispana, y bajo el auspicio generoso de la FUNDACIÓN UNIVERSITARIA ESPAÑOLA, nace hoy este primer nú­ mero de Cuadernos de Investigación Histórica. Nuestra publicación sale a la luz enarbolando las firmes ilusiones propias de quien inicia un larga jornada que se sabe, y no se teme, laboriosa, porque se espera fecunda. El territorio que contemplamos abarca todo el largo devenir histórico español, pero especialmente por lo que se refiere a la cronología, los cinco siglos transcurridos desde fines del XV, Y muy en concreto los tres que, con algún abuso, seguimos denominando «modernos», en los cuales se instala -cosa que a menudo parecen desdeñar ciertos medios universitarios- la plenitud historicocultural del país, gracias a cuyas supervivencias -«cenizas con sentido», hubiera dicho Quevedo- ocupamos y seguimos ocupando un rango de honor entre las naciones del mundo contemporáneo; también atenderemos con interés a la posterior etapa de transición que se extiende hacia la España burguesa y protoíndustrial que comienza a afianzarse a 10 largo de la segunda mitad de la pasada centuria. En cuanto al ámbito geográfico. nos preocupa no sólo el área peninsular, indagada en cualquiera de sus entrañables realidades regionales o lo­ cales. sino también la mucho más amplia, europea y planetaria, de la presencia hispánica. Dentro de tales coordenadas venimos a colaborar con otras prestigiosas pu­ blicaciones periódicas en la estimulante tarea de acrecentar el caudal del banco de datos y de enriquecer la interpretación de los mismos, con el doble pro­ pósito de esclarecer algunos de los anchurosos espacios todavía inexplorados de nuestra Historia y de contribuir al desvanecimiento de los tópicos que aún con­ dicionan, incluso en los círculos profesionales, la imagen de nuestro ayer con perfiles poco o mal definidos. Las páginas de estos Cuadernos están, desde ahora, cordialmente, a la dis­ posición de cuantos investigadores, nacionales o extranjeros, noveles o consa­ grados, quieran honrarnos con trabajos donde se cubran los requisitos mínimos de honestidad intelectual y rigor científico que exige en la actualidad el cultivo de nuestra disciplina, sin que compromisos ideológicos o de escuela, puritanis­ mos metodológicos o preferencias temáticas sectoriales vayan a incidir en nues­ tros criterios selectivos. Quizá se nos reproche la profesión de eclecticismo edi­ torial propuesta, pero de ninguna manera estimamos oportuno ni rentable el 4 CUADERNOS DE INVESTIGACION mSTORICA establecimiento de W10s esquemas conductores que propicien hasta la pedantería excesos de formalización conceptual, tantas veces prematuros o superfluos, o bien se traduzcan en las perspectivas distorsionadas de quienes se obstinan en la minuciosidad, con frecuencia estéril, desplegada en los túneles ópticos de los diversos especialismos excIusivistas. Porque lo que pretendemos, con la ayuda de todos y desde la convergencia plural de enfoques heterogénos en común en­ crucijada donde se articulen en equilibrios complementarios que faciliten la cohe­ rencia de los rumbos y horizontes de la futura historiografía, es sólo, insistimos, aportar materiales e ideas a la panorámica global e integradora de la Historia de España, en la que tanto queda por hacer y rehacer. ARTICULOS EL ADELANTAMIENTO DE CAZORLA EN EL SIGLO XVI Por ANNIE MOLINIÉ-BERTRAND Universidad de París-Sorbona El Adelantamiento de Cazarla 1 fue fundado en favor del arzobispado de Toledo por Fernando UI, después de que Cazarla fuera reconquistada en 1231 por el arzobispo Don Rodrigo Ximénez de Rada. En el siglo XVI, Carlos V donó esta vasta jurisdicción a su secretario, Francisco de los Cobas; no les será devuelta a los arzobispos de Toledo hasta 1606. En 1597 el adelantado mayor y perpetuo de Cazarla es el marqués de Caramasa. Se trata, además de la villa de Cazarla, de cinco comunidades de habitan­ tes o municipios situados en la región del alto Guadalquivir, al sureste del Reino de Jaén. Estas villas y lugares forman dos conjuntos: por una parte, Cazarla, con sus tres aldeas o cortijos -Toya, Peal de Becerro y Santo Tomé-, que constituyen el partido de Cazarla y dependen del Arciprestazgo de Ubeda. y La Imela 2, a menos de dos kilómetros de la capital. Por otra parte, en la ruta de Jaén a Albacete, Villacarrillo, que debe su nombre al arzobispo de To­ ledo, Don Alonso Carrillo 3; Iznatorafe 4, muy cercano, en la cima de una alta colina, y un poco más al Este, Villanueva del Arzobispo y Sorihuela de Guada­ limar 5 (cf. mapas núms, 1 y 2). 1 Este término designa el territorio colocado bajo la jurisdicción del «Adelantado», entiéndase una especie de presidente o gobernador de provincia, un senescal. Ver a este respecto la definición del Diccionario de Autoridades, artículo «Adelantado»: «Oficio en España que corresponde a Presidente o gobernador de provincia, que con la audiencia que había en ella juzgaba de todas las causas civiles y criminales. Dixose Adelantado, por estar más adelante que los otros para los negocios de importancia.» Recordemos, hacien­ do camino, que Don Quijote, queriendo persuadir a Sancho de que le siguiera, y cuando este último dudaba de las dignidades que le podrían caer en suerte, recomienda al labra­ dor que no se contente con menos que una senescalía; Don Quijote, 1 cap. 7, p. 81 (remitimos a la edición Juventud): «Pero no apoques tu ánimo tanto que te vengas a contentar con menos que con ser adelantado.» Añadamos que en el censo de 1591 no encontramos en el Reino de Castilla más que el «Adelantamiento de Cazorla». 2 «La villa del Yruela» se lee en 1561. 3 Este Arzobispo obtuvo de Juan II una jurisdicción independiente de la de Iznatorafe para la villa. 4 En todos los documentos del siglo XVI se encuentra la ortografía «Iznatorafe», y hoy, «Iznatoraf». 5 Según el Censo de la Población de España de 1970, Cazorla cuenta con 9.776 habi­ tantes; La Iruela, 3.570; Iznatorafe, 2.062; Peal de Becerro, 5.299; Santo Tomé, 3.675; Sorihuela de Guadalimar, 2.015; VillacarriJIo, 13.051, Y Villanueva del Arzobispo, 10.480. 8 CUADERNOS DE INVESTIGACION HISTORICA Hemos mantenido, para el breve estudio que va a seguir, este conjunto ad­ ministrativo original, cuya historia está ligada a la Reconquista, porque repre­ senta una jurisdicción importante, particular y homogénea en el interior del Reino de Jaén.

  • The Castilians Discover Siam: Changing Visions and Self-Discovery
    THE CASTILIANS DISCOVER SIAM: CHANGING VISIONS AND SELF-DISCOVERY Florentino ~odao' Abstract Iberians were the first people in Europe to interact directly with Siam. Centuries elapsed between the time the first information about Siam was received in the Iberian Peninsula and the period when their rulers perceived this Asian territory in a more or less coherent framework. This work studies the changes in their perception of the Kingdom of Siarn as it evolved from the earliest mythical references, in a long process that was neither uniform nor reliant merely on the receipt of data. Focusing on these early perceptions, this study notes the Iberians' different reactions to this new knowledge, the role of individuals and how the parallelprocess of their own budding national identities affected theoutcome. Introduction The Castilians and Portuguese shared similar conceptions about the "Far East" in the Middle Ages. During the Renaissance they were in a privileged position to obtain deeper knowledge about the territories in that region, their rulers and forms of government. Due to the great navigations, they established direct contact. After the Portuguese settled in Malacca in 1511 and the Castilians in the Philippines in 1565, those contacts became frequent. Hence the medieval cognitive framework used to interpret data related to Siarn was replaced by the Iberians earlier than by other Europeans. But this external process coincided with an internal evolution of the Iberians' own identities, both as individuals and as members of a society. Natural curiosity to learn about new lands and peoples, coupled with advances in science, navigation and travel, made many question traditional Christian beliefs about the world created by God for the first time.

  • Overview of the Spaniards in Taiwan (1626‐1642)
    1 西班牙人在台灣活動考述 (1626‐1642) An overview of the Spaniards in Taiwan (1626‐1642) 鮑曉鷗教授 Professor José Eugenio Borao 台灣大學外文系 National Taiwan University Foreign Languages and Literature The Spaniards stayed in Taiwan in the 17th century for only 16 years. In such a short time they did few things and left behind little influence in the island when they left (a huge fortress, some place names, more than one thousand converts, etc.). But if we see them exploring their own self-consciousness, we can think that their presence was a metaphor of the decline of the Spanish Empire, which became a secondary power after the treaties of Westphalia in 1648. In this paper I would like to present, first, an introduction of all the driving forces that brought the Spaniards to Taiwan; second, the encounter that they had with the Chinese, focusing particularly in the parian of Manila and the small parians of Quelang and Tamchui, and finally how the idea of law was very much present in the official self-consciousness: on their arrival by “justifying” the conquest, and on their departure by looking for the responsibilities of the defeat. I will focus in the ideology behind one of the most important trials ever held in Manila, the one against the Governor General Corcuera, accused of being the ultimate culprit of the loss of the Spanish garrison of Quelang (present Jilong). Spaniards in Taiwan, Spaniards and Chinese in the 17th century, The parians of Isla Hermosa, Corcuera’s trial. Introduction The arrival of the Spaniards in the East was motivated by their search for easy access to the Spice Islands.

  • Human Rights and Justice Issues in the 16Th Century Philippines
    Human Rights and Justice Issues in the 16th Century Philippines 16th Century in the Issues Justice and Rights Human Philippines San Beda College James Loreto C. Piscos, Ph.D. Abstract: In the 16th century Philippines, the marriage of the Church and the State was the dominant set-up by virtue of Spain’s quest for colonization and evangelization. Civil administrators and Espasyo Pampublikong sa Wika Ang church missionaries were called to cooperate the will of the king. In most cases, their point of contact was also the area of friction because of their opposing intentions. The early Spanish missionaries in the 16th century Philippines were influenced by the teachings of Bartolome de Las Casas and Vitoria that ignited them to confront their civil counterparts who were after getting the wealth and resources of the natives at the expense of their dignity and rights. Since the King showed interest in protecting the rights of the Indians, Churchmen used legal procedures, reports and personal .... ... testimonies in the Royal Court to create changes in the systems employed in the islands. The relationship between the Spaniards and the natives cannot be reduced to a monolithic relationship between the two races. The power dynamics should be viewed within the plethora of groups who were engaged in the discourse including the bishop of Manila, governor-general, encomenderos, adelantados, soldiers, religious orders, native leaders and even the common indios. Given the canvas of conflicting motives, the proponents of conquests and missionary undertakings grappled to persuade the Spanish Royal Court to take their respective stand on the disputed human rights and justice issues on the legitimacy of the conquest, tributes, slavery and forced labor.

  • Conquistadores Or Merchants? Spanish Plans for the Conquest of China, 1565–1586
    Conquistadores or Merchants? Spanish Plans for the Conquest of China, 1565–1586 Omri BASSEWITCH FRENKEL The last decades of the sixteenth century saw the Spanish empire at the height of its splendor. During that period it expanded its sphere of influence beyond the Americas. Motivated by the competition with Portugal over world hegem- ony, the Asian spice trade, and the desire to convert the people of China, Spain made great efforts to find an alternative route to the Far East, and to establish a foothold in Asian waters. These attempts culminated in 1565, when Miguel Lopez de Legazpi’s (1502–1572) expedition had successfully colonized the Philippine Islands. Contrary to Spanish expectations, spices or precious metals were not abun- dant in the Philippines. In addition, the geographical dispersion and social or- ganization of the local population made it hard to control. This resulted in dis- appointment on the side of the Spaniards as for the profitability of the Philip- pine venture. What helped to preserve the Spanish colonization of the Philip- pines was the trade that evolved between the young colony and China; Chinese commodities, mainly silk products, were exchanged for American silver, and then shipped across the Pacific Ocean to Acapulco. The Chinese side of this commerce was managed by the Chinese merchant community in Manila. However, as early as in the first decade of colonization, it became clear that the Spaniards in Manila were interested in no less than the conquest and evange- lization of China. In the three decades that followed, such aspirations were man- ifested in several petitions sent to King Philip II (1527−1598; r.

However, despite this surge of interest, there is still a long way to go. One must acknowledge that the theme of the relations between the Japanese and the Castilians in the later decades of the 16th century and the beginning of the 17th century, in which the Philippine enclave played a pivotal role, has gene- rated more interest than other aspects, although there is still scope to further expound upon this subject. Thus, taking into consideration its duration and importance, one comes across a relatively large number of works related to this theme, both in terms of analytical works as well as with regard to the publication of primary source material.

MEMORIAL, AND RELATION FOR HIS MAJESTY2 FROM THE PROCURADOR GENERAL OF THE Philippines, concerning what needs to be remedied, and of the wealth that there is in them, and in the Maluku Islands.3 SIRE Hernando de los R´ıos Coronel, cleric and priest, Procurator General of the Philippine Islands, Maluku, and all that archipelago declares, that it is thirty- two years and more since I went to the Philippine Islands, where I served a long time in the [clerical] habit and military service, and as a citizen of the City of Manila, with more desire than powers to serve Your Majesty, obtaining [information] from all those of that kingdom in order to give indications from there. For which reason, in the year of 1605, they appointed me and put upon my shoulders the weight of their cares and travails, and I came to this court, and prostrated myself many times before the royal feet of His Majesty, who is in heaven, giving account of them. I returned to that kingdom [the Philippines] in the year of 1610 to give my account, and of what had been assigned to me, with many travails and dangers; and although I could have been excused those things, and considered my convenience and leisure, with the opportunity that I had in your Royal Council of the Indies; I confess that I know not what interior force and natural inclination [f.1 v] has always led me rather to desire more Your Majestys service, as well as the well-being and increase of that Kingdom, rather than my leisure and comfort, which I have never minded nor cared for.
