Els capbreus medievals i moderns s’han estudiat com a font històrica, font filològica, font lingüística, font lexicogràfica, font onomàstica, font antroponímica, font toponímica, font tipològica, font fiscal, font metodològica, font jurídica i font serial. Emprant-los com a fonament, s’han dut a terme estudis de feudalisme, règim senyorial, renda feudal, crisi, economia, societat, pagesia, propietat agrària, Església, paisatge, masos, urbanisme, arquitectura i sistema defensiu. Però no s’han utilitzat com a base d’aplicació de font d’arxiu per a les humanitats digitals. Aquest llibre, fruit d’un projecte en equip, n’és un exemple pioner: comprèn l’estudi històric, els plantejaments propis de la paleografia i codicologia per a la transcripció del manuscrit, l’edició digital i la geolocalització del capbreu materialitzada en un mapa interactiu.

To establish as an antagonistic binomial the feudal mentality opposed to the mercantile one is as erroneous as to consider that history is constructed in the dichotomy whiteblack; useful perhaps from the ideology, but far from the whole of the historical reality of any epoch, where harmony or con8ict is nuanced in a wider range of greys. Berefore, the title of my paper is voluntarily equivocal, an intention that I further reinforce when it comes to substantiating the game. I am going to study the relations between men and men, and between men and women, in the temporal arc of the 13th–15th centuries, especially in the period of the merchant Torralba, the protagonist-axis of this congress. I base the work on unpublished Catalan documentation, and naturally use related bibliography, as well as memorials, diaries and contemporary literature. Be paper is structured in three parts. Be @rst consists of the analysis of rituality: tributes, oaths; then, bodily possessions and ceremonies. Be second part looks at the links and kinship between the lower nobility and the high bourgeoisie. Be third presents a little- studied branch of the Gualbes lineage, putting the emphasis on the formation of a particular society constituted by a member of this family that illustrates in a paradigmatic way the ambivalence of the stately and high-mercantile mentality in Catalonia in the 15th century.

Codex lustinianeus, Llibre 111, titol XXV: 'De la societat comercial'. Introducció L'objectiu primer del present treball, tal com indica el títol, és analitzar la impórtancia i la incidencia de les societats mercantils als regnes de la Corona d'Aragó al segle XIV. Tanmateix, i de bell antuvi, són necessáries algunes matisacions. En primer lloc, cal dir que no volem incidir en els aspectes legalistes o jurídics pels quals aquestes societats es reglen', sinó avaluar Ilurs elements caracteritzadors des d'una óptica d'história económica. Per tant, ens interessen els factors que poden donar-nos llum sobre les diferents capacitats a nivell de capital social, peró també llurs interessos comercials, productes i espais d'actua-ció mercantil. De la mateixa manera, cal copsar quins són els principals operas .

ABSTRACT The article deals, as its title indicates, with the apprenticeship of young merchants in middle age. It describes the change of attitude towards merchants and the fact of doing business, from an initial suspicion to becoming a civic model and poses training in the context of urban low-medieval education. Below is a description of how they learned about words and numbers. They consider the manuals for merchants and that implied having to have good manners. It closes with a comparison between the training of boys and girls. The sources used were Catalan and Italian.

Coral Cuadrada (URV) va presentar la ponència “Masos i masies: estat de la qüestió i vies de recerca”, que ens va oferir un punt d’arrencada per al segon simposi, ja que es van formular les línies d’investigació que s’han donat i es poden donar sobre aquest tema.
Per entendre l’organització del territori en l’etapa medieval, no es poden deixar de banda els masos com un dels elements bàsics que el configuren. L’estudi del mas es pot abordar des de múltiples perspectives (l’arqueologia, la història, la geografia, la genealogia, l’economia, la sociologia, l’antropologia, l’arquitectura i el patrimoni material i
artístic) aportant una lectura multidisciplinària del fenomen.

This paper explores the involvement of women in business during the Late Middle Ages. Our research has focused on the activities undertaken by women living in the most important economic centres of the Crown of Aragon, taking into consideration the contributions made by female historians who have carried out their studies in other areas. The research hypothesis is that mothers and wives took over businesses in critical periods with such efficiency that they became a threat to the interests of their merchant fathers and husbands. To demonstrate this, unpublished records preserved in the Historical Protocols Archive of Barcelona, the Historical Notarial Protocols Archive of Zaragoza, the Crown of Aragon Archive, and the Archivio di Stato di Prato have been studied together with other published references. Data arising from these files demonstrate that, in the absence of men, women carried out efficiently the management functions of the companies. Wives, widows, and daughters of merchants, were independent women that actively participated in running the family businesses. The increase in women’s involvement was at the root of men’s unease and provoked a strong reaction from the male market sectors.

The analysis of the correspondence between two sixteenth/seventeenth-century female aristocrats Luisa de Carvajal, Magdalena de San Jerónimo enables us to reect on the value of relics and their relevance in the Spanish Baroque Counter-Reformation. We correlate Luisa's yearning for martyrdom as well as her mystical and religious exaltation with some of Magdalena's commitments at the Penitents House, at the Flemish Court, and as founder of the prison for prostitutes and female delinquents known as the Casa de la Galera, and, therefore, with dier-ent bodies and semiotics: the ill body of men, that polluting of`working girls'; the bodies of virgins, of prostitutes, of actresses. These relate to dierent public spaces: the brothel, the theatre, the Magdalene asylum. And, in a very special manner, to the res publica and the Spanish Empire. All this based on the continuous background of Mary Magdalene's myth, a fundamental text that unites all the women considered here.

Resum «Dones i terres catalanes medievals» és un estudi de llarga durada, a l'espai de la Catalunya Vella i la Nova. Les dones, majoritàriament, són dones amb poder: primer les feminae, des-prés les dominae. Un poder que es palesa en l'assumpció de les polítiques masculines, però que, alhora, traspua autoritat, refl ectida en les polítiques femenines. L'objectiu principal, doncs, ha estat refl exionar sobre el rol de les dones al camp català als segles X-XIII. La metodologia emprada és la pròpia de la recerca històrica feminista, a més dels mè-todes empírics clàssics: recull de dades arxivístiques, sistematització, tractament, compa-ració, exposició de resultats. Pel que fa a l'estat de la qüestió bibliogràfi ca, no hi ha refe-rències per a l'època i l'òptica triada; per tant, aquesta anàlisi s'ha construït prenent com a base fonts primàries d'arxiu. Abstract Dones i terres catalanes medievals is a long-term study, in the area of Old and New Catal-onia in the Middle Ages. The women are mostly women with power: fi rst the feminae, then the dominae. A power that is apparent in the assumption of male policies but, at the same time, exudes authority, refl ected in female policies. The main objective, then, has been to refl ect on the role of women in the Catalan countryside from the tenth to thirteenth centuries. The methodology used is typical of feminist historical research, in addition to the classical empirical methods: archival data

In this article, I analyze the experiences of libertarian women in the republican zone in the Spanish Civil War, especially the spontaneous reaction of most of them, which enlisted in the Militia, in defense of the Republic and in the presence of the military fascist putsch. I consider what the transgression of masculine space meant, when women invaded an enclosed field: the battlefront. Then, the resistances, opposed opinions and tensions between those who found just that women could fight in the trenches and those who thought their place was in the rearguard. I am referring, in this context, to the so-called (and nonexistent) Largo Caballero decree of the withdrawal of women from the vanguard of war. I propose a second transgression questioning the adjudicated roles on account of gender: man-violence / woman-sweetness.

Undoubtedly, the events of 18, 19 and 20 July 1936 constitute one
of the most excessively interpreted historical facts in recent Catalan history.
And, all the same, after eighty years we still know very little about them.
The originality of the 1936 social revolution, which was structural and
inherent to it, goes beyond the Spanish Civil War and its end in a forty-year
long Fascist dictatorship that masked the significance of the revolutionary
brunt, or even beyond the tendentious readings from both sides –including
the republican sector’s internal contradictions-. It stems from an insurrection
leaded by its basis, by people from across the working-class neighborhoods
of the city of Barcelona. Certainly, it was the people who had nothing –nor
anything to lose- who stopped the military coup, inch by inch, street by street,
practically unarmed and with the only collaboration of the Generalitat de
Catalunya’s assault guards.
It was the people who had nothing who mainly volunteered to the
militias to fight the fascism at Zaragoza. It was the people who had nothing,
especially the women, who collectivized around 70% of Barcelona’s factories
(electrical industry, water and gas supply companies, textile and wood
industries, harbors, food industry, transport companies, or metal industry),
as well as a great part of the economy of the country (trade, food distribution,
barber’s shops, entertainment shows, schools, media, croplands, swimming
pools, or leisure facilities...). During those months, for the first and perhaps
the only time in history, the women who had nothing except their dignity, did
have everything. To them I want to dedicate my research and to pay homage.

This contribution focuses on female lust and secrets. My objectives have been: to diachronically study the criticism of women from the Early Middle Ages to the Renaissance; 2. To analyse the theological, medical and legal discourses; 3. To intersect the ages of women; 4. To listen to their voices. In order to carry out my research I have built on sacred and profane medieval literature, philosophical and legal texts, medical treatises, patristic commentaries, as well as literature from different genders. The methodology followed has been the revision of existing bibliography on the subject, Spanish, Catalan and foreign, in addition to the archival work, always necessary, both in situ and online.

The aim of this study is to compare various proposals of women who fought for a more just society. We analyze how these anarchists and bourgeois feminists, from divergent ideologies and positions, addressed issues as education, secularism, motherhood and marriage. With this purpose we have considered appropriate to use their texts and make them debate as if it was a discussion, following the suggestions of dialogic feminism.
Keywords: Anarchism, education, bourgeois feminism, dialogic feminism, laicism, maternity, marriage and religion.

Resumen Mediante un análisis de largo recorrido —desde la Alta Edad Media (con múltiples citas de los autores clásicos revisitados por la escolástica medieval) a la Edad Moderna temprana—, este estudio trata de comprender los parámetros bajo los que la fi losofía, la teología y la ciencia médica medieval llegaron a justifi car por qué las mujeres eran más propensas a corromper el aire; cómo los demonios y las mujeres maléfi cas utilizaban los vientos —y cualquier tipo de inclemencia— para aniquilar cultivos y cosechas; y de qué manera se llegó a la combinación de ambos conceptos a fi n de acusar a las hechiceras con-vertidas en brujas de corrupción, envenenamiento, y/o de ser agentes de destrucción me-diante las catástrofes climáticas.

Resumen: Esta aportación se enmarca en una serie de nuevas reflexiones sobre temas ya tratados ampliamente por la historio-grafía, pero que admiten nuevos acercamientos. La metodología seguida ha sido la del vaciado bibliográfico de la literatura científica espa-ñola y extranjera, así como la utilización de fuentes publicadas existentes, aumentada con los escritos de los pensadores de la época, lite-ratura y diccionarios. He reflexionado sobre el debate del sistema sexo/género, pornografía y prostitución en los movimientos de mujeres y los feminismos, a fin de posicionarme teóricamente. He planteado las diversas etimologías sobre las diferentes categorías de meretrices, distinguiendo entre prostitución oficial, secreta, clandestina, así como las interseccionalidades que se daban en el universo complejo de las prostitutas, aplicando las sugerencias de los feminismos críticos. Los objetivos planteados han sido los de revisar el argumento de la pros-titución en la Baja Edad Media y Renacimiento, concediendo voz a las actoras, no víctimas pasivas. Palabras clave: Prostitución. Etimologías. Feminismos. Historiografía.Voces. Résumé: Cette contribution fait partie d'une série de nouvelles réflexions sur des sujets déjà largement couverts par l'historio-graphie, mais admettent de nouvelles approches. La méthodologie suivie a été vider la bibliographie de la littérature scientifique espagnole et étrangère, ainsi que l'utilisation de sources publiées déjà existantes, augmentée avec les écrits des penseurs de l'époque, la littérature et les dictionnaires. J'ai réfléchi à la discussion de sexe / genre, de la pornographie et de la prostitution dans les mouvements des femmes et les féminismes, à fin de me positionner théoriquement. J'ai soulevé les différentes étymologies des différentes catégories de prostituées, la distinction entre les prostituées communes, secrètes, clandestines, et les intersectionnalités qui ont été au monde complexe des prostituées, en appliquant les suggestions des féminismes critiques. Les objectifs ont examiné l'argument de la prostitution à la fin du Moyen Age et de la Renaissance, en donnant la parole aux auteures, pas des victimes passives.

Llamamos a este libro Oikonomía porque trata de la economía de la vida, la han llevado a cabo las mujeres: la relación estrecha entre trabajo y vida. Se ha estructurado en cuatro capítulos muy distintos: Kémit (Egipto); Época Tardorromana (siglos III-V d.C.); Edad Media (Cataluña, Italia, siglos XIII-XV); y Sociedad Victoriana. Los cuatro análisis siguen el mismo planteamiento: una forma distinta de entender el valor histórico de los trabajos de las mujeres. Hemos dado una visión feminista de los mismos, poniendo en primer lugar el trabajo de cuidados, por que éste es el más importante por y para la sociedad: el sostenimiento de la vida, el mantenimiento de la existencia. Sigue el de reproducción –vital y social– y, por último, el de producción.

During the acts of homage of the 10th and 11th centuries, vassals would become men or women of their feudal lords by declaring themselves sons or daughters of their lord’s Mother; Study 2. The presence of feminae in written documentation. These women were land holding owners
and were allowed to act freely in purchases, sales or transfers, playing a central role in business without any attendance or assistance from men; 3. The exaltation of women in Troubadour literature and courtly love.

The historical studies, in spite of the multiple reflections revolving around the tendencies and historiographical schools, they lack, nowadays, thought and substantiated theoretical justification. The resource to the description and narrative are in many cases prevalent, when it’s not opted for the mere positivist exposition of occurrences. If in many occasions the recognition to the laudable work of archival exhumation is more than remarkable, the
lack of epistemological and methodological approaches are also evident. Due to my certainty that without adequate methodology no epistemological
progress can be made, I introduce this communication, based off of studies that have already been made. ("Les dones als orígens de Torre forta", "El ejemplo del centro de planning de Tarragona (yesterday) vs. Facebook (today)", o" La asistencia alparoencondicionesadversas:matronas enlaschabolas(Cataluña,19451972), to quote a few examples). From these examples, and as a proposal to an application to the History of Nursing, I’ll introduce the novel aspects regarding the methodology followed in this labor, which joins together harmoniously the investigation of archives with the field work. I will also detail with precision the constituent elements of what we have been calling the method of investigation‐action‐participatoryfeminism (IAPF), pointing out its links with the
ethnographic method, as well as its renewal through the incorporation of the postulates coming from the most outstanding feminist epistemologists –Fox Keller, Harding, Longino, Haraway, among other.

The plague, the worst pandemic. – In this article I reflects on why we should consider the plague the worst pandemic suffered by western humanity. I then analyse the measures and precautions taken by towns to deal with it, in an attempt to compare them with those taken against COVID. I take into consideration the interpretations of the causes of the epidemic by contemporary doctors and end with the most recent historical research.
The method I followed is therefore that of historical science with archive research and bibliographical consultation. The historical sources used, especially the medical treatises of the time, come from my own research, focusing above all on Catalan and Italian sources. I have also sought out studies by forensic anthropologists, archaeologists, palaeobiologists and doctors of infectious diseases.

Este libro es un ejercicio de libertad. La libertad de explorar de forma íntima, sincera y profunda nuestras herstories. Estas narraciones vivenciales y profesionales sirven para mostrar, contar, o llevar al espacio público lo obviado. Uno de los factores comunes del volumen ha sido el colocar el cuerpo y las emociones en el centro de la argumentación y combinar la experiencia vivida con la práctica clínica y académica. Es, en definitiva, un diálogo entre distintos saberes que plantea la maternidad como un fenómeno no reducido a la biología, sino complejo y plural.

research and a deliberation of archival sources which are unusual to the Catalonian historical knowledge of hospitals. I am firmly heading towards the long term as an illustrative tool (to denote the changes and/or stabilities) conscious about the fact that these investigations which point into one specific historic term are unable to grasp them.

This contribution is framed in a series of new reflections about subjects already treated by historiography,
because they admit new approaches. In this case, I have analysed the theory and the practice of medicine
in the Middle Ages, from the perspective of the historical anthropology. The methodology followed has
been the bibliographical screening of scientific literature both Spanish and foreing, as well as the utilisation
of existing published sources and archive materials, incremented with the writing and treaties of period
thinkers – medical, moral, normative, notarial, in addition to contemporary literature. The primary sources
are Catalan, French and Italian, given that it is in those geographical areas where I carry out my research.
From those approaches I have been able to get closer to the medical culture, from its beginnings in the
Early Middle Ages monasteries; I have witnessed the divorce between medicine and surgery, as well as the
influence of religion on disease and the way to accept it. In the paragraph dedicated to therapeutics, I have
studied the influence of bio-pharmaceutical medicine, diagnosis, prognosis and therapy. In the pharmacy
section, I have considered the types of remedies, the treatises, the apothecary and a brief note on popular
medicine. The last part of my exhibition has considered the professionalism, the medical behaviour and its
rules, as well as the relationships between doctors and cities and the diseased.

Esta aportacion trata de la lujuria femenina y los secretos. Mis objetivos han sido: 1. Estudiar diacronicamente la critica a las mujeres desde la Alta Edad Media al Renacimiento; 2. Analizar los discursos teologicos, medicos y juridicos; 3. Interseccionar las edades de las mujeres; 4. Escuchar sus voces. Para llevar a cabo mi investigacion me he basado en literatura medieval sagrada y profana, escritos filosoficos y juridicos, tratados medicos, comentarios de la patristica, amen de literatura de distintos generos. La metodologia seguida ha sido la de la revision de la bibliografia existente sobre el tema, espanola, catalana y extranjera, asi como el trabajo de archivo siempre necesario, in situ y on line.

Mediante un analisis de largo recorrido —desde la Alta Edad Media (con multiples citas de los autores clasicos revisitados por la escolastica medieval) a la Edad Moderna temprana—, este estudio trata de comprender los parametros bajo los que la filosofia, la teologia y la ciencia medica medieval llegaron a justificar por que las mujeres eran mas propensas a corromper el aire; como los demonios y las mujeres malefi cas utilizaban los vientos —y cualquier tipo de inclemencia— para aniquilar cultivos y cosechas; y de que manera se llego a la combinacion de ambos conceptos a fin de acusar a las hechiceras convertidas en brujas de corrupcion, envenenamiento, y/o de ser agentes de destruccion mediante las catastrofes climaticas.

There is still uncertainty about the diagnosis and nature of the plague; some scholars have been forced to abandon certainties and be filled with doubts: from believing that the mediaeval Black Plague was, in reality, the bubonic plague (although with unusual characteristics) to stating that there is very little evidence to support a retro-diagnosis. This article looks at this in depth, not only reviewing the historiography but also giving new interpretations which question previous hypotheses through research on images of the time, comparing them to the most recent investigative data. Two primary sources are analysed: Renaissance treaties written by four Italian doctors: Michele Savonarola, Marsilio Ficino, Leonardo Fioravanti and Gioseffo Daciano; and iconography: an illustrated manuscript of the Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio and a Hebrew Haggadah from the XIVth century. The results are compared to the most recent research on DNA and in micropaleontology.

La oikonomia se refiere a la economia de la vida o a la relacion estrecha entre trabajo y vida. Y, en el caso concreto de este libro, a la economia llevada a cabo por mujeres. La obra se ha estructurado en cuatro capitulos muy distintos: Kemit (Egipto); epoca tardorromana (siglos III-V d.C.); Edad Media (Cataluna, Italia, siglos XIII-XV); y sociedad victoriana. Los cuatro analisis siguen el mismo planteamiento: una forma distinta de entender el valor historico de los trabajos de las mujeres. Hemos dado una vision feminista de los mismos, poniendo en primer lugar el trabajo de cuidados, porque este es el mas importante por y para la sociedad: el sostenimiento de la vida, el mantenimiento de la existencia. Sigue el de reproduccion vital y social y, por ultimo, el de produccion.

Esta aportacion reflexiona sobre la evolucion de los seres miticos y fantasticos de las hadas, propios de las leyendas, el folclore y la literatura, hasta la figura de la bruja malvada condenada por los inquisidores y demonologos de la baja edad media y primera modernidad. La metodologia seguida ha sido la de la utilizacion de fuentes varias: tratados de demonologia, manuales de inquisidores, penitenciales, poesia cortes y arturica, leyendas y excavaciones arqueologicas. Los enfoques interpretativos se enmarcan en la historia de las mentalidades, la sociologia religiosa, la historia de las mujeres y la antropologia cultural. Las preguntas planteadas han sido: ?desde cuando y porque algunas mujeres son llamadas brujas y se equiparan a las mediadoras del diablo? ?las gentes creian en seres fantasticos? ?las mujeres magicas fueron siempre maleficas? ?cuando se convierten en tales? Cuestiones todas ellas que se reducen a una: ?cuando las hadas se convierten en brujas? O en otra mas: ?de...

Cet article considère des aspects relatifs à la meilleure compréhension de l'économie catalanne du XIVc siècle en un sens concret; de façon plus génerique son rol au marc des inter-relations avec les centres portuaires italiens de la même èpoque, tous dans un espace plus large que serait capable de penser un monde méditerranéen d'échanges, même l'atlantique. C'est un travail conjoint, mais pas redactée à quatre mains, sinon complementaire; c'est à dire, il est conçu à travers de deux points de vue et à travers du travail de recherche de deux historiennes, même si les objectifs ont été coincidents: De cette façon, nous trouvons à la fin que une situation historique unique peut être considerée, en dependance des fonts d'archive, de manière sincronique et diacronique, en pensant à la fois en l'évolution et en le temps concret. En plus, c'est un intent de confrontation de résultats, d'interpretation et de constatation des événements.
