A páginas seguintes apresentam um plano de trabalho sobre as revistas jurídicas editadas na Espanha, Portugal e nas repúblicas americanas que foram suas colônias (1830 ca. ? 1950). Guiado por esse objetivo, procedo recordando (i) a aparição da historiografia jurídica sobre as revistas, detendo-me na sequência (ii) em algumas questões conceituais, assim como (iii) em várias advertências práticas – colhidas da minha própria experiência – que convém ter em consideração quando se estudam esses materiais. Entretenho-me, na continuidade, em um (iv) rápido balanço dos repertórios e inventários consultados nesta fase, embrionária, do trabalho. Tratando-se de um projeto ambicioso – descrito sumariamente no (V) desfecho destas páginas – que só pode ser realizado por uma rede de pesquisadores, convido o leitor interessado a se somar aos nossos esforços.

The article analyzes the historical process of legal cod-ification during the liberal Triennium. The research examines the circumstances and constitutional condi-tions of elaboration, possible models and parallel texts, and the content of the Penal Code and the in-complete draft of the Civil Code. The article investi-gates the relationship between such codes, recalling the doctrinal proposals and the strategies followed during their elaboration process, as well as undertak-ing a cross-reading of their texts. Comparing the Spanish codes with other texts will make it possible to highlight their uniqueness in a legislative history that was not yet dominated by the Napoleonic Cinq codes.

Apresentação do Código dos Bens de Montenegro (1888), um texto legal que codificou os costumes do pequeno principado balcânico. Por esta razão, o novo texto legal foi de grande interesse na Europa do fim de século − como mostram as diversas traduções contemporâneas− e, em particular, na Espanha, onde a investigação proto-sociológica dos costumes locais promovida por Joaquín Costa (1846-1911) proporcionou a alternativa a uma codificação civil que sofreu a condenação da doutrina.

We are interested here in the initiatives of John Henry Wigmore (1863-1943), Dean of the Northwestern University School of Law. Since the beginning of the last century, Wigmore has promoted several collections (in English) of works by renowned European jurists in the fields of criminal law, the legal history, the philosophy of law. These pages offer keys to interpreting the collections and developing the strategies adopted in a dynamic of "nationalisation" of foreign texts.

Franco Cipriani’s historical research on the great authors of “scientific proceduralism” (Giuseppe Chiovenda, Francesco Carnelutti, and Piero Calamandrei) made it possible to elaborate a theory of the civil process: “guaranteeism.” The theory holds that the lawsuit is a legal relationship between private parties, and the judicial authority only acts in the trial as an impartial bystander. This is opposite the procedural tradition of the twentieth century that accentuates the legal–public nature of the process and therefore the autonomy and activity of the judge to come to a fair resolution. The wide acceptance of the Italian classic authors on civil procedure in Spain and Latin America explains the impact that Cipriani’s “revisionist” work had in several countries and the tension between guaranteeism and activism in their codified regulation of the trial. From that point of view, this Article analyzes the most recent codes of civil procedure, those of Colombia and Brazil. If historiography has led to theory, it is interesting to find out whether theory leads finally to legislation.

Estudio del (incompleto) proyecto de Código civil elaborado por las Cortes en 1821, en el marco de las ideas y textos de la codificación civil europea del momento y de la Constitución de 1812. Se reconstruye la vida parlamentaria del intento de las Cortes y las biografías de los diputados que estuvieron tras su elaboración, en particular el valenciano Nicolás Mª Garelly. El análisis de tres relevantes cuestiones abordadas por Garelly y sus colegas –la teoría de la ley, las condiciones que afectaban el estatuto jurídico de los individuos, los derechos civiles de éstos− completa la monografía, que incluye una nueva edición del folleto impreso (en diciembre de 1821) que constituye nuestra única fuente de conocimiento.
A study of the (incomplete) draft of the Civil Code drawn up by the Cortes in 1821, within the framework of the ideas and texts of the contemporary European codification. It reconstructs the parliamentary life of the text in the Spanish Cortes and the biographies of the deputies who worked on it, in particular Nicolás Mª Garelly. The analysis of three relevant issues addressed by Garelly and his colleagues – namely the theory of legislation, the conditions affecting the legal status of individuals, their civil rights - completes the monograph, which also includes a new edition of the printed booklet (December 1821) that constitutes our sole source of knowledge.

Studies on Spanish legal journals of the 19th and 20th centuries (La Escuela del Derecho, Revista de los Tribunales, Revista General de Legislación y Jurisprudencia, Revista de Ciencias Jurídicas y Sociales) and on issues of legal relevance addressed by the daily press (the crime in Calle de Fuencarral, the celebrity of Cesare Lombroso). There are two theses - one, in fact - that run through the works. The first deals with the dominant model of the lawyer in liberal Spain. The old Ciceronian lawyer was replaced in the 1880s by a 'scientific' jurist; an extraordinary example was Rafael de Ureña and the law review that he created at the University of Madrid. Secondly, it is maintained that before those years and even after, there were no great differences between the so-called "legal reviews" and the "political journals", due to the invasive projection of the same public discourse. The Sevillian lawyer and politician Joaquín Francisco Pacheco, founder of professional magazines but also of newspapers, can embody like no other the archetype of the jurist-public man who, like Cicero, acted in defence of his sponsored but also in favour of the collective cause

Se reproduce el discurso de ingreso de Rafael de Ureña y Smenjaud (1852-1930) en la Real Academia de Ciencias Morales y Políticas (1912). “Una tradición jurídica española” estudiaba los fueros de la Extremadura castellano-aragonesa que consagraron la potestad sobre los hijos como el poder “conjunto y solidario” del padre y de la madre, lo que Ureña presentó en abierto contraste con la solución “romana” (esto es, no o poco ‘española’) del criticado Código civil. El estudio de Carlos Petit examina, a partir del argumento y de las fuentes abordados en el discurso, la posición de Ureña en la historiografía jurídica española, una especialidad constituida como disciplina en torno a Eduardo de Hinojosa y Naveros (1852-1919), archivero y medievalista y maestro de algunos de los fundadores del influyente Anuario de Historia del Derecho Español (1924). A ese fin se recuperan algunos documentos inéditos y varios recuerdos que ilustran los particulares de la revista indicada.
A new edition of Rafael de Ureña y Smenjaud's (1852-1930) admission speech to the Real Academia de Ciencias Morales y Políticas (1912). "Una tradición jurídica española" studied the local charters or fueros of the Castilian-Aragonese Extremadura that consecrated the power over the children as a "joint and solidary" power of both the father and the mother; a legal rule in open contrast, according to the speaker, with the "Roman" solution of the criticized Spanish Civil Code. Based on the argument and the sources addressed in the speech, Carlos Petit's study examines Ureña's position in Spanish legal historiography, a speciality constituted as a discipline around his contemporary Eduardo de Hinojosa y Naveros (1852-1919), archivist and medievalist and mentor to some of the founders of the influential Anuario de Historia del Derecho Español (1924). To this end, the study recovers some unpublished documents as well as several memories that illustrate the particulars of the aforementioned journal.

Il volume prende in esame, per la prima volta in maniera organica, la 'cultura' delle riviste che nella seconda metà dell’Ottocento ha contribuito a definire il nuovo campo delle scienze criminali. Le riviste "consorelle" hanno rappresentato uno strumento privilegiato di comunicazione scientifica e di politica culturale, rivelandosi luoghi di elaborazione e di intersezione di saperi e pratiche diversi, in grado di formare, orientare, condizionare i principali protagonisti del dibattito penalistico tra Otto e Novecento, non solo in Italia. Questa 'tribuna' fa emergere un quadro fortemente dinamico, complesso e articolato, attraverso il quale è possibile mettere a fuoco alcuni snodi cruciali del rapporto tra opinione pubblica, cultura giuridica, giustizia penale e garanzia delle libertà.

Este estudio pone de relieve los componentes orales que recorren la cultura jurídica de la España isabelina - aunque, con alta probabilidad, muchas de las hipótesis aquí lanzadas son perfectamente aplicables a otras tradiciones americanas y europeas. Con el abogado-orador como modelo de jurista perfecto y piedra de toque de la referida cultura, se analizan sucesivamente las prácticas universitarias (lecciones, discursos de apertura, oposiciones a cátedra), la profesión forense (saberes, bibliotecas, gestos...) con atención particular a la literatura sobre elocuencia y, en fin, la actividad parlamentaria y legislativa. Se pretende así observar desde nuevas perspectivas los textos del momento liberal.

The Great Christian Jurists series comprises a library of national volumes of detailed biographies of leading jurists, judges and practitioners, assessing the impact of their Christian faith on the professional output of the individuals studied. Spanish legal culture, developed during the Spanish Golden Age, has had a significant influence on the legal norms and institutions that emerged in Europe and in Latin America. This volume examines the lives of twenty key personalities in Spanish legal history, in particular how their Christian faith was a factor in molding the evolution of law. Each chapter discusses a jurist within his or her intellectual and political context. All chapters have been written by distinguished legal scholars from Spain and around the world. This diversity of international and methodological perspectives gives the volume its unique character; it will appeal to scholars, lawyers, and students interested in the interplay between religion and law.

On the one side we have the book, the deposit of knowledge, the fruit of instruction and still of excellent content, but it's one step from being forgotten; on the other side, the word, indispensable form of written substance, an injection of power into the bookish knowledge, and thus the only guarantee of long life. So the word is power and enjoys duration; the writing, even objectified as a book, without the word is volatile and impotent.
