La circulación manuscrita de los poemas alfabéticos de Francisco de Osuna: El caso del manuscrito «MSS/74» de la Biblioteca Nacional de España
2013
International audience; A raíz del redescubrimiento en la BNE del manuscrito MSS/74 —una copiosa antología de cartas y opúsculos místicos del siglo xvi—, se pudieron identificar dos de los tres «alfabetos» anónimos al amor de Dios que cierran dicho compendio: se trata en realidad de dos poemas alfabéticos de Francisco de Osuna.

Presenting two cases that have been promoted …

International Standing Conference for the History of Education (ISCHE) Networks, internationalisation, and scientific communication
2022
The objective of this study is to map the international networks of research, circulation, and scientific communication in the history of education, at a global level. In order to do so, we analyse the activity of the International Standing Conference for the History of Education (ISCHE). The focus is placed on the following: the make-up and organisation of the community of education historians; the arenas set up to encourage collaboration, debate and consensus in research in the field; collaboration among researchers, and the influence of transnational perspectives; avenues of research and areas of focus; and the communication channels by which ideas and findings are published and exchange…
