    Keywords: Criminality, Crown of Aragon, Middle Ages, Valencia, XVth century.

    Violence and justice has been present during the history at most of societies. During the Middle Age exists different behaviours that alter the order and social peace, and to face up to it, the municipal government were activated different legal mechanisms to reply that transgressive attitudes. Our criminality study in Valencia during the XV century allow us to exemplify the most habitual criminal cases that medieval justices condemn in form of punishment: economic, physical or both. The frequency with which Valencia’s city habitants report the different violent abuses allows us to know which crime and felonies were produced with more periodicity in the kingdom’s capital. In this article we will show the crime which were produced in the city of Valencia and which methods were used to eradicate these behaviours.

    Ten little things that magnify the Catalan Griselda: The stories of Griselda by the Italian authors, Boccaccio and Petrarca, bear witness to a profound discussion, as revealed by the epistolary of the Seniles. Bernat Metge, sensitive to the new current, enters into this controversy with his Catalan version and through some letters. His support for Boccaccio and the disjunction towards the mentor, which were already known, we analyze here from ten corners of observation, which explain the sign of the Humanisme in its origins, and can still give reason for its course.

  3. Culture and school in the Middle Ages. Light and shade of educational problems

    Giorgio CRESCENZA

    Original title: Cultura y escuela en la Edad Media. Luces y sombras de problemas educativos

    Published in

    Keywords: Church, Education, Libraries, Medieval Age, Thomas Aquinas, University.

    Famines and pestilences that alternated in the medieval age did not always allowed an orderly and regular flow of life. In this context, education and culture have not been a priority for all and of all, however cultural and educational strengths are many, including the birth of Universities and libraries. The article deals with a historical-pedagogical analysis on what happens in the school or in institutions similar to it which transmit culture codified in certain forms, through certain tools, with specific purposes. And this with the awareness that, especially in some periods, Courts and Churches are exactly the main vehicle of education, unlike school. It seems that an extensive renewal movement crosses the same religious circles and, on this point, the pedagogical project by Thomas Aquinas is reminded.

The process was reflected not only by Valleriola’s diary but also by subsequent lawsuits.

  6. Textual transmission in Latin and romance language of the sermons of Sant Vicent Ferrer

    Manuel ORTUÑO ARREGUI

    Original title: La transmisión textual en lengua latina y romance de los sermones de Sant Vicent Ferrer

    Published in

    Keywords: Latin, Romance, Sermons, St. Vincent Ferrer.

    The aim of the present article is to explain the textual transmission in Latin and romance language of the sermons preached by S. Vicent Ferrer. His sermons were scored by listeners who were transcribing them and are notable texts in Valencian, Catalan and Castilian medieval literature. In fact, the oldest Vincentian sermons that have come down to us are in latin – which is not to say that he might preach in that language but for its wider dissemination and usefulness were collected in it–, while it is accurate that in some few occasions have some words in other languages, probably introduced by the same reportatores.
