The baix Maresme in 1772 through the pastoral visit of Bishop Josep Climent
Héctor LÓPEZ SILVA
Original title: El baix Maresme l’any 1772 a través de la visita pastoral del bisbe Josep Climent
Published in
Keywords: Diocese, Josep Climent, Paris, Pastoral visits, Reformism.
Through the realization of the pastoral visits, the bishop of the diocese could control the parishes that he had in charge. As a result of these visits a report was written in which we can find information about the structural state of the parishes that were visited, as well as the existence of chapels, beneficums, and private oratories within the parish; but these reports also inform us about the moral estate of the parish. The pastoral visit carried out by bishop Josep Climent allows us to see the changes that were happening at baix Maresme at the end of the eighteen century, such as the appearance of new towns, but also the reformist attitude that bishop Climent had, which can be seen through the decrees.

The homiletic triad of the XVII Valencian. Biographical notes of Gaspar Blai Arbuixech, Antoni Bonaventura Guerau i Joan Baptista Ballester
Juan Miguel BLAY MARTÍ
Original title: La triada homilética del XVII valencià. Apunts biogràfics de Gaspar Blai Arbuixech, Antoni Bonaventura Guerau i Joan Baptista Ballester
Published in
Keywords: Arbuixech, Ballester, Guerau, Homilethics, Oratory, Seventeenth century, Valencian.
The Valencian sermonist acquired an unquestionable power in the 17th century. An example of this is found in the figures of Arbuixech, Ballester and Guerau, in them we find protagonists with their own name in the religious field and local preaching preaching. In fact, they were the most remarkable personalities of the homilética genre that arose in Valencia in the middle of the six hundred that, along with other intellectuals, shaped a genuine cultural circle. Indeed, together they would integrate the triada of the native sacred oratory of the Baroque one by antonomasia. The three would be linked to the Congregation of the Oratory of Sant Felip Neri of the capital of Turia, to the immaculist cause and the devotion to San Vicente Ferrer. The historiography, however, has ignored our protagonists. There is no monographic study dedicated to them, beyond the biographical reviews of V. Ximeno or J. Rodríguez. Certainly, we have found them as part of essays devoted to classmates or preachers, already in works on preaching in the Baroque or in volumes about the University of Valencia, Valencian philology or literature. In addition, his work has reached us very unevenly. With the following lines, for all this, we will try to deduct them in value. Serve this article as a prologue to a larger work on them.

Through series of documents from different records, we will try to analyse the work of one of the professionals of the second-hand market: the scrap metal dealer. In the same way, we will try to understand the social image of a group that was frequently close to marginality.

The delights prohibited at the woman’s monastery
Francisco José CONEJERO PASCUAL
Original title: Els delits prohibits als cenobis femenins
Published in
Keywords: Feminine monastery, Literary cultural practice, Misdemeanour, Modern Age, Moral.
The present investigation pretends to do visible the importance of the monastery feminine, at the ken of the life and the culture of the women of the 16th century. This period met how the Modern Age has not enjoyed for part of the Catalan literary canon a positive consideration, since the term Decadence has comported a pejorative vision of the praxiliterary realized by the women. At this sense, the delights of the women that inhabited these cloisters evidence us that it is necessary to delete commonplaces of the life monastery feminine that are very moved away of the reality. Among the most excelled delights of these excels the reading and the sex that manifested an optics of the different reality of what pretended to impose the ecclesiastical patriarchy.

From the sagesse des troubadours to the polite allegory of Ramon Llull
Anna Maria COMPAGNA
Original title: De la sagesse des troubadours al alegorismo cortés de Ramon Llull
Published in
Keywords: Laicism, Middle Ages, Ramon Lull, Troubadours.
If certain comparisons between works rarely go beyond superficial analogies, the concept of a figure allows us to frame in a new light the affinity of some of Llull’s works with troubadour poetry, where the lady as a metaphor for Wisdom and as a folkloric epiphany presages what which will be the courteous allegorism of Ramon Llull. The importance that Llull gives to the metaphor finds part of his matrix in the love story of the troubadours.
