The lai “Si bé, Fortuna, has dat lo torn”: a critical edition of the catalan poem from the novel Triste deleitación
2019
The Castilian novel Triste deleitación, written in the late fifteenth century by an author from the Crown of Aragon, includes several letters and poems. One of these poems, “Sy bé, Fortuna, as dat lo torn”, is written in Catalan. This article presents the poem’s annotated critical edition, which reports how it is indebted to the Catalan lyrical tradition. Written in an evolved form of the French lai cultivated by various Catalan poets, the poem is clearly influenced by Pere Torroella’s lai “Qui volrà veure un pobre estat”, and linked to two other similar lais also dependent on Torroella’s. This edition is completed by a translation into modern Catalan. La novel·la en castellà Triste deleita…

The Role of doctors in the slave trade during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries within the Kingdom of Valencia (Crown of Aragon)
2013
Slavery had become increasingly widespread throughout the entire Mediterranean region during the late Middle Ages. At the same time, a new form of medicine (based upon the Galenism to which the universities gave voice), together with the practice thereof and its practitioners, had gained ground. Detailed evidence from the Kingdom of Valencia enables us to study these two topics, namely slavery and the new medicine. This article illustrates how doctors came to play a highly active role in the slave trade through the assistance they provided in preventing and rectifying any instances of fraud therein.

Las galeras mercantiles venecianas y el puerto de Valencia (1391-1534)
2020
This article studies the functioning of Venetian galere da mercato along one of the coastlines where they operated, that of Valencia. The system was known to have seven routes during the XIVth to the XVIth centuries and was used to collect goods at the point of arrival. The first galleys which carne to the port of Valencia (from Flanders) were in 1391, but the most active period was 1450-1534, from Aigues Mortes and Barbary. Analysis of fiscal and notarial records shows that the fleet system operated with the import of textiles, metal and spices and the export of wool, slaves and cloth, though the basic function of the market was the exchange of billion for spices. The market benefited fro…
La organización del transporte marítimo en la Valencia de la primera mitad del siglo XV
2020
The increase in late medieval trade favoured the spread of technical developments in sea transport. Valencia, a growing market at this period, also went through significant changes. Closer analysis of the structure and behaviour of trading companies allows us to explore this. Persistence of poor financial resources and a piecemeal strategy in trade, combined with use of local shipping, affected the high number of stops and slowness in transactions. Le développement du commerce du bas moyen âge supposa la diffusion des progrès techniques dans le cadre du transport maritime. Valencie, un marché en expansion à cette époque, subit aussi des transformations fondamentales. Néanmoins, l'analyse de…

Orphaned siblings and noble families in baroque Rome
2010
The essay investigates the impact of the premature death of the father on brother and sister groups in noble Roman families of the seventeenth century. More specifically, it explores how this loss reflected on the biographical itineraries of individual members of the sibling unit; how adelphic relations between the orphans were reformulated according to order of birth and first born or cadet status, age, and sex; and what forms of solidarity and competition were engendered by the loss of a father. Since demographic historians have shown that orphanage at an early age is an important variable, the author argues that it cannot be overlooked – as historians have done so far – in studies on fam…
Crédito y banca en el Mediterráneo medieval: la quiebra del cambista valenciano Francesc de Páls
2020
The bankruptcy of the valencian moneychanger Francesc de Pals, in 1316, was another one in the long sequence of banking failures that happened in the Western Mediterranean Sea, and specially in Valencia, by the end of XIIIth Century. Thc conservation of ths process where his creditors shared out his inheritance is the staring point for a breakdown on the nascent financial world of Valencia only half a Century after its integration to Christian Europe. So, native moneychangers had already developped at this time a business network that included important relations with Italy and the South of France, and they had even settled agents in Seville. The connexion between Francesc de Pals and the m…
La cetrería en los ejemplos, símiles y metáforas de san Vicente Ferrer
2012
Vincent Ferrer used in his sermons many and varied resources to make your message intelligible to its many listeners. One such resource was hunting activities and especially the form of hunting with birds. On the one hand, this activity was provided appropriate elements to construct analogies that facilitate the understanding of the word of God. However, on the other hand, it seems that perhaps other reasons may explain this preference of the speaker, more related to their own experience and the reality of the society to which he was going. And, in addition to the textual sources, father Vincent often drew on his own experience and, indeed, to those aspects of the daily lives of his audienc…
