Afrodita en el trópico

Resumen del Libro

Perhaps the opening paragraph from Paul Larson¿s (Baylor University) prologue to the Epistola ad Mahomatem II summarizes what this new Scripta Humanistica volume has to offer to readers of literature and history alike: ¿This new scholarly edition certainly begs the question: how can a fifteenth century letter from the then Pope Pius II to the Muslim conqueror of Constantinople have any relevance for contemporary scholars and students in the early 21st century? Embroiled as we are in chaotic and tumultuous religious and political conflict in Europe and the Middle East, perhaps the answer is only too obvious: the same political and religious concerns that drove Piccolomini to pen his letter are still applicable to today.¿ Today¿s political climate is no different from that of the Fourteenth Century and that is why Leaños¿s work is so relevant in present time political rhetoric. Written in 1461, eight years after the Fall of Constantinople, Piccolomini¿s work is a lengthy oration invoking a crusade against the Ottoman Empire. Throughout approximately the 90 folios of this missive, which elucidates the superiority of the Bible over the Qur¿ãn, Pius II attempts to convert the Sultan to Christianity by providing arguments from doctrine, scripture, history, classical literature, political thought, and reason. Leaños¿s work is extensive and his lucid study on one of the most famous rhetoricians, humanists, diplomats, and prelates of the Italian Renaissance, Aeneas Sylvius Piccolomini, would benefit scholars and graduate students interested in the political-religious intersection between the West and the East.

Panamá

El hilo conductor es la historia panameña. Como marco para su pensamiento, el autor delimita dos naciones panameñas, El dique y El agua, las cuales se entrelazan o se enfrentan. En su recorrido, muchas veces sinuoso, pasa revista de lo que piensan los extranjeros del panameño común, los éxitos setenteros de Rubén Blades, el léxico de los istmeños, Omar Torrijos, Manuel Antonio Noriega y otras muchas particularidades de sus paisanos. Finalmente, examina a la luz de esta información lo que fueron los llamados Papeles de Panamá.

La caracterización y el aprovisionamiento de los recursos abióticos en la prehistoria de Cataluña

This study is a highly innovative body of research on the supply of raw material in prehistoric Iberia. The archaeological assemblages from recently excavated sites in north-eastern Spain are clearly presented, as are the various methods for the characterisation of flints and the determination of geological origins. The study is important in terms of the new data provided on raw material supply at the end of the Upper Palaeolithic in Iberia and a reconstruction of mobility patterns and resource exploitation of hunter-gatherer groups during the Pleistocene/Holocene transition. In Spanish.
