Los álbumes de dibujos de la máscara real en honor de la infanta María Antonia Fernanda de Borbón (Barcelona 1750)
2015
En 1750, la ciudad de Barcelona obsequió a la infanta María Antonia Fernanda de Borbón tres álbumes con los diseños de las 'cuadrillas de naciones', realizados por el pintor Francesc Tramulles, que amenizaron los actos de entretenimiento que se le ofreció a su paso por la ciudad con motivo de su matrimonio con Vittorio Amedeo de Saboya. Desconocidos hasta la fecha, los autores profundizan en su singularidad gracias a la localización y estudio de dos de ellos . El presente articulo recoge los actos festivos dedicados a la real comitiva, estudia los dibujos en relación a la irrupción del gusto rococó en el país, analiza las diferencias existentes entre ellos y pone de manifiesto el papel que …
Parental effects on offspring longevity--evidence from 17th to 19th century reproductive histories.
2004
Family studies provide support for a modest genetic influence on offspring life span, although the magnitude of these correlations is small.The study aimed to clarify the relative contributions of parental age at birth and overall parental longevity on offspring lifespan, and to identify the biological and cultural mechanisms.Information was derived from two village genealogies (1650-1927) encompassing 9979 births (5315 males, 4664 females). Data selection was guided by the inclusion of information about parental age at birth and lifespan, offspring lifespan and cohort-specific life expectancy.Parental age at reproduction displayed a negative association with offspring survivability, which …
Bayesian modeling of the evolution of male height in 18th century Finland from incomplete data.
2012
Abstract Data on army recruits’ height are frequently available and can be used to analyze the economics and welfare of the population in different periods of history. However, such data are not a random sample from the whole population at the time of interest, but instead is skewed since the short men were less likely to be recruited. In statistical terms this means that the data are left-truncated. Although truncation is well-understood in statistics a further complication is that the truncation threshold is not known, may vary from time to time, and auxiliary information on the threshold is not at our disposal. The advantage of the fully Bayesian approach presented here is that both the …
Los corregidores de Betanzos en la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII (1748-1808): análisis social y profesional
2020
El objetivo de este trabajo consiste en estudiar la vertiente social del poder, analizando para ello la trayectoria de quienes ocuparon el corregimiento de Betanzos desde su creación, a mediados del siglo XVIII, hasta que el estallido de la guerra de la Independencia, en 1808, empezó a alterar la, hasta ese momento, estable división administrativa del reino. Origen geográfico, estudios cursados, vínculos familiares o trayectoria profesional serán algunos de los aspectos a analizar, como también la actuación desarrollada por quienes ostentaron la titularidad del corregimiento. The objective of this work is to study the social side of power, analyzing for it the trajectory of those who occupi…
la noblesse dans la monarchie espagnole des Habsbourg aux Bourbons. Langages et pratiques de fidélités anciennes et nouvelles
2018
Lo scopo del saggio è di offrire una riflessione sulla nobiltà spagnola, siciliana e napoletana nel complesso quadro della crisi dinastica verificatasi nella monarchia spagnola alla morte di Carlo II. A partire dall'analisi delle dinamiche che hanno iniziato a modificare il ruolo delle Grandes alla corte di Madrid durante la reggenza di Mariana de Austria, l'attenzione si concentra principalmente sui decenni tra la fine del XVII e l'inizio del XVIII secolo. La ricerca evidenzia strategie personali e legali, nuove pratiche e linguaggi di negoziazione tra nobiltà e sovrano, al fine di comprendere le motivazioni che hanno costituito la base per l'adesione della nobiltà mediterranea al partito …
Los <i>Padres de la Iglesia</i> de Joaquín Oliet y la obra de Francisco de Goya
2008
The painter from Castellón, Joaquin Oliet Cruellas, carried out prolific mural decorations for various churches in Valencia, Alicante and Castellón in which his intense visual culture is evident. Especially interesting are the series of Fathers of the Latin Church painted for several of these churches, which display, with variants, compositions identical to those attributed to Francisco de Goya in Calatayud, Muel and Remolinos.<br><br>El pintor castellonense Joaquín Oliet Cruella realizó para diversas parroquias valencianas, castellonenses y alicantinas una prolífica decoración mural, en la que es palpable una intensa cultura visual.

ANDREA GIGANTE E GLI ALTRI: SULL’AUTOREVOLEZZA PROFESSIONALE DELL’ARCHITETTO NEL SETTECENTO A PALERMO
2021
This contribution is based on the transcription and commentary of a document from the mid-18th century. The dialectic between Andrea Gigante (1731-1787) and a client for a specific service (a project and model of an altar in the church of San Carlo) indirectly reveals the status of social authority achieved in Palermo by the architect.
UN PAÍS MÁS EXTRANJERO QUE LA CHINA: LIBROS ESPAÑOLES EN LAS LIBRERÍAS PARISINAS DEL SIGLO XVIII
2018
The image of Spain in 18th century Europe, and in Paris in particular, could be described as bittersweet. Despite the shared dynastic ties of France and Spain, and a few scattered and short-lived attempts by some intellectuals and journals to offer a benevolent image of Spain, the Parisians of the day continued to regard Spain as a country barely modern, a victim of its own inaction and subject to the rigours of the Inquisition. We are aware of these stereotypes thanks largely to literary works. This is not necessarily the case with bibliographic sources. If we are to clarify the «image» of Spain, we need to go down into the street and consider how people saw, or rather read about, the coun…
La vida cotidiana de los vecinos de Manila a través de sus testamentos e inventarios de bienes
2019
With the general objective indicated in its title, this work tries to highlight relevant aspects in the continuity of the Spanish domain in the Philippines, dependent on the maintenance of the Spanish capital. The inevitable selection of topics has lead the preferences of this work towards the residents collaboration to defend the city, the conversion of many of them into traders of exotic products and singular slaves owners, and their collaboration to an incredible miscegenation due to the ethnic variety. On the other hand, to follow the footsteps of the first generation of residents in Manila, at the end of the 16th century and during the 17th century, this work gives us some information …
