The vast transformation of the Roman world at the end of antiquity has been a subject of broad scholarly interest for decades, but until now no book has focused specifically on the Iberian Peninsula in the period as seen through an archaeological lens. Given the sparse documentary evidence available, archaeology holds the key to a richer understanding of the developments of the period, and this book addresses a number of issues that arise from analysis of the available material culture, including questions of the process of Christianisation and Islamisation, continuity and abandonment of Roman urban patterns and forms, the end of villas and the growth of villages, and the adaptation of the population and the elites to the changing political circumstances.

En el siglo XVI, la Península Ibérica no quedó al margen del gran debate teológico que sacudía Europa. En España y Portugal se leían, comentaban y discutían los escritos de la Reforma. Su recepción no fue una mera aceptación pasiva de ideas extranjeras, sino el fruto de una interacción con planteamientos espirituales autóctonos que no puede ser reducida a la polarización entre católicos y protestantes. Las redes de creyentes evolucionaron al mismo tiempo que las doctrinas reformadas y que las estrategias de contención desarrolladas por los reyes y la Inquisición. Las contribuciones de este libro permiten un nuevo balance de la situación de la Reforma en el conjunto de la Península Ibérica, a la vez que ponen en relación a los círculos de exiliados con las comunidades del interior. Au xvie siècle, la péninsule Ibérique n'est pas restée à la marge du grand débat théologique qui secouait l’Europe. En Espagne et au Portugal, les écrits de la Réforme y furent aussi lus, commentés et discutés. Au-delà de la simple acceptation passive d’idées étrangères, leur réception se confronta aux approches spirituelles autochtones et ne saurait se réduire à la simple polarisation entre catholiques et protestants. Les réseaux de croyants évoluèrent en parallèle des doctrines réformées et des stratégies de contrôle mises en place par les rois et l’Inquisition. Les contributions de cet ouvrage permettent une nouvelle lecture de la situation de la Réforme dans l'ensemble de la péninsule Ibérique, tout en reliant les sphères exilées aux communautés de l’intérieur des deux pays.

"Medieval thinkers were convinced that they themselves were still citizens of the empire, which had been founded by Augustus." This book is devoted to substantiate this claim of William Heckscher. It does so by tracing Antiquity’s afterlife in various genres on the Iberian Peninsula. The book is a manifest for a special transformation and, moreover, continuation of antiquity in the so-called Middle Ages in Spain, going against the commonly held view that only the European Renaissance did justice to and came to the rescue of Antiquity. It describes how the Visigoths preserved classical Antiquity in the 6th and 7th century, how Roman influence manifests itself on the Pórtico de la Gloria of Santiago de Compostela, how the Iberian Peninsula was reluctant to adopt the European Gothic Art around 1200 and how the Catholic Kings went back to forms and ideas of late Antiquity around 1500. In doing so this book offers an alternative to the influential and, so far, widely accepted concept of the reception of Antiquity, which is Erwin Panofky’s Principle of disjunction. Der Band präsentiert eine neue Sicht von Mediävisten unterschiedlicher Disziplinen auf die Kontinuität der Antike in das sogenannte Mittelalter. Er verfolgt das parallele Nebeneinander von Antike und Christentum im 5. und 6. Jahrhundert, das anschließende Fortführen der Antike durch die Westgoten sowie das Beharren in Iberien auf römisch-romanischer Form und Ambivalenz gegen die außerspanisch längst als moderner Stil etablierte Gotik.

Imagining Iberia in English and Castilian Medieval Romance offers a broad disciplinary, linguistic, and national focus by analyzing the literary depiction of Iberia in two European vernaculars that have rarely been studied together. Emily Houlik-Ritchey employs an innovative comparative methodology that integrates the understudied Castilian literary tradition with English literature. Intentionally departing from the standard "influence and transmission" approach, Imagining Iberia challenges that standard discourse with modes drawn from Neighbor Theory to reveal and navigate the relationships among three selected medieval romance traditions. This welcome volume uncovers an overemphasis in prior scholarship on the relevance of "crusading" agendas in medieval romance, and highlights the shared investments of Christians and Muslims in Iberia's political, creedal, cultural, and mercantile networks in the Mediterranean world.

One of the main cultural consequences of the contacts between Islam and the West has been the borrowing of hundreds of words, mostly of Arabic but also of other important languages of the Islamic world, such as Persian, Turkish, Berber, et cetera by Western languages. Such loanwords are particularly abundant and relevant in the case of the Iberian Peninsula because of the presence of Islamic states in it for many centuries; their study is very revealing when it comes to assess the impact of those states in the emergence and shaping of Western civilization. Some famous Arabic scholars, above all R. Dozy, have tackled this task in the past, followed by other attempts at increasing and improving his pioneering work; however, the progresses achieved during the last quarter of the 20th c., in such fields as Andalusi and Andalusi Romance dialectology and lexicology made it necessary to update all the available information on this topic and to offer it in English.
