La feudalità ecclesiastica nella Sicilia degli Asburgo: il governo del Regio patronato (secoli XVI-XVII)
2011
Il saggio ricostruisce identità e caratteristiche della cosiddetta "feudalità ecclesiastica" siciliana sotto il dominio degli Asburgo di Spagna (secoli XVI-XVII). Essa era costituita dai titolari dei benefici di regio patronato più prestigiosi per giurisdizione, ricchezza e antichità (vescovati, abbazie e priorati). Questi prelati, soggetti al diritto di presentazione dei re di Sicilia (e quindi di Spagna), erano membri di diritto del braccio ecclesiastico del Parlamento del Regno e, in quanto tali, anche parte integrante del sistema fiscale del regno, condizione peculiare rispetto ad altre entità statuali italiane ed europee.

Democrazia sociale e democrazia politica in Léon Harmel
2020
Pierre Louis Léon Harmel (1829-1915), uomo di profonda fede cattolica, imprenditore e riformatore sociale, esponente del cattolicesimo sociale francese, rientra a pieno titolo tra coloro che ebbero un ruolo determinante nell’apertura della Chiesa alle problematiche della società moderna. Visse i profondi cambiamenti economico-sociali causati dalla rivoluzione industriale. Sensibile alle condizioni misere in cui versava la classe lavoratrice, volle fare della sua fabbrica laniera in Val des Bois nel comune di Warmeriville una sorta di comunità in cui potessero fondersi i principi fondamentali della giustizia cristiana e le aspirazioni moderne dei lavoratori organizzati. Reclama la responsabi…

Catholics in the Irish Parliament: Daniel O'Connell and his influence in Italy
2014
Daniel O'Connell (Cahersiveen 1775 - Genoa 1847), an Irish politician and patriot, fought for Catholic Emancipation, to repeal the penal laws discriminating Irish Catholics and the Act of Union. Believing firmly in non-violence, he defended the representation of Irish Catholics in Parliament as the most appropriate instrument to support their rights. His thoughts and actions were spread and known in Italy and Europe while some Catholics were arguing on a possible reconciliation between religion and freedom and on the resulting openness to the principles of democracy and to the problem of representation. The Theatine Gioacchino Ventura from Palermo, one of the leaders of the Sicilian 1848 re…
El lèxic tècnic a la traducció catalana de l?Opus agriculturae de Pal·ladi : una aproximació als llibres de 'grammàtica' i 'medicina'
2017
In 1385 Ferrer Saiol, protonotary of Queen Eleanor of Sicily, translated into Catalan Palladius’s Opus Agriculturae (‘The Work on Farming’). This Latin work was widely known throughout the whole of the Middle Ages, and therefore a translation of Opus Agriculturae was wanted in the fourteenth-century's Kingdom of Aragon. A difficult aspect of Opus Agriculturae is its technical vocabulary. Being aware of it, Ferrer Saiol referred in his translation to his use of numerous reference books to undertake the best possible version. These medieval glossaries and vocabularies belong in his translation, explicitly as well as implicitly. We identify here books that Ferrer Saiol used for this version, …

2019
This study analyzes the presence of messianic and millennial beliefs in the last period of Ferdinand the Catholic?s reign.

Culture and current account balances
2014
This article contributes to the literature of current account balances by introducing cultural variables that until now have been omitted. The World Values Survey indicates that the Roman Catholics do not consider thrift as important as others. We propose that Catholic countries tend to run current account deficits. This result remains robust even if we control for close to all of the determinants that have been included in previous studies. We find evidence that the inclination of Catholic countries to have high levels of uncertainty avoidance goes to a great length in explaining the result. peerReviewed
