Download or read book The Atlantic World and the Manila Galleons written by José Luis Gasch-Tomás and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-12-10 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies of the trade between the Atlantic World and Asia during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries typically focus on the exchanges between Atlantic European countries – especially Portugal, the Netherlands and England – and Asia across the Cape route. In The Atlantic World and the Manila Galleons. Circulation, Market, and Consumption of Asian Goods in the Spanish Empire, 1565-1650, José L. Gasch-Tomás offers a new approach to understanding the connections between the Atlantic World and Asia. By drawing attention to the trans-Pacific trade between the Americas and the Philippines, the re-exportation of Asian goods from New Spain to Castile, and the consumption of Chinese silk, Chinese porcelain and Japanese furnishings in New Spain and Seville, this book discloses how New Spanish cities and elites were main components of the spread of taste for Asian goods in the Spanish Empire. This book reveals how New Spanish family and commercial networks channelled the market formation of Asian goods in the Atlantic World around 1600.

Download or read book The Practice of the Bible in the Middle Ages written by Susan Boynton and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, specialists in literature, theology, liturgy, manuscript studies, and history introduce the medieval culture of the Bible in Western Christianity. Emphasizing the living quality of the text and the unique literary traditions that arose from it, they show the many ways in which the Bible was read, performed, recorded, and interpreted by various groups in medieval Europe. An initial orientation introduces the origins, components, and organization of medieval Bibles. Subsequent chapters address the use of the Bible in teaching and preaching, the production and purpose of Biblical manuscripts in religious life, early vernacular versions of the Bible, its influence on medieval historical accounts, the relationship between the Bible and monasticism, and instances of privileged and practical use, as well as the various forms the text took in different parts of Europe. The dedicated merging of disciplines, both within each chapter and overall in the book, enable readers to encounter the Bible in much the same way as it was once experienced: on multiple levels and registers, through different lenses and screens, and always personally and intimately.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published as a special issue of 'Exemplaria', these essays deserve a much wider audience. They deal with Jewish studies and the medieval historian, rabbinic ecclesiology and the synods of Nicaea and Yavneh, Jewish women martyrs, sexual politics and marriage, late-medieval Castile, nation and miscegenation, cultural hybridity, and Kabbalistic anthropology. The authors are widely published scholars and critics in various fields of Jewish studies. The volume will be valuable to many scholars, teachers, and students. The essays open up so many interesting avenues of inquiry that they will enlighten and challenge not only specialists in Jewish studies but also scholars, critics, students, and teachers of medieval literature and Jewish literature, medieval history and culture, women's studies, and religious studies.

Book excerpt: Juan Antonio Llorente's 'The History of the Inquisition of Spain' is a comprehensive and meticulous account of one of the most controversial periods in Spanish history.

Llorente's detailed descriptions and analysis provide readers with an in-depth understanding of the Inquisition's impact on Spanish society and culture. Written in a scholarly and objective tone, this work serves as a valuable resource for academics and history enthusiasts interested in this dark chapter of Spanish history. Juan Antonio Llorente, a Spanish historian and former Secretary of the Inquisition, drew on his firsthand experience and access to official documents to write this authoritative history. His background in religious institutions and his commitment to uncovering the truth behind the Inquisition give the book a unique perspective and credibility. I highly recommend 'The History of the Inquisition of Spain' to anyone seeking a thorough and well-researched account of this complex historical period. Llorente's expertise and attention to detail make this book a must-read for those interested in the Spanish Inquisition and its lasting effects on Spain.
