    Keywords: Disputatio, Medieval Art, Medieval Philosophy, Ramon Llull.

    The purpose of this conference is to present the phylosophical debate between Pedro and Ramon Llull (Librum disputationis Petri et Raimundi phantastici), and analyze the limits of the medieval dialogue. Debate or conversion? We intend to discuss the parameters of medieval dialogue lulian, aspects that led our author to the most extreme fantasies of literary-philosophical dialogue: the dramatization of the conflict between ideals and realistic attitudes. In addition, we intend to do a iconographic analysis of one of the most famous artistic representations of Ramon Llull: “The rear of the army and relief of Mr. Ramon Llull of Majorca to destroy the tower of falsehood and ignorance”, seventh miniature from Breviculum (1325).

    The memoires of a Castilian lady Eleanor Lopez of Cordova consist on an unique document for three reasons: the female authorship within the context she was in, the autobiographic text and the support for the rightful faction defeated by the ascension of the Trastamara. Eleanor Lopez of Cordova is the daughter of Martin Lopez of Cordova, who was the Master of the Alcantara and Calatrava orders, and a rare survivor of the persecution that her family went through after her father’s death. With the marriage of Henry III and Catherine of Lancaster, she achieved a noteworthy prominence, which however, was once again dissembled by the complex royal and noble relations during the period of John II’s reing.

Garcia de Resende’s Cancioneiro Geral, a compilation of 880 poems from 1459 to 1516, is considered a historical document in verses which registers the beginning of the greatness of Portugal.

    Published in Medieval and Early Modern Iberian Peninsula Cultural History

    Keywords: Iberian Peninsula, Judaism, Messianism, Sebastianism.

    This paper discusses some of the possible routes of royal messianism in the Iberian world between the XIV and XVI Centuries.

The best example of royal messianic expectations, Portuguese Sebastianism, fed upon these sources amongst others, and found fertile ground in the dramatic political context which followed the defeat by the Moors in Alcácer Quibir.

  7. “Venid a suspirar al verde prado”: missing and melancholy in an Iberian song (XVI century)

    José Eduardo Costa SILVA

    Published in Medieval and Early Modern Iberian Peninsula Cultural History

    Keywords: Iberian song, Musical analysis, Neo-Kantian, Phenomenology.

    This article by employing the use of musical analysis, investigating the possibility of music porting an objective basis for the production of sensations, feelings and meanings. Thus, it is inscribed in the traditional discussion, often engendered by neo- Kantian and the Husserlian phenomenology, around the categorical joints involved in the subject-object relationship. The analyzed example is the Iberian anonymous “Venid a suspirar al verde prado”. Through its analysis, we concluded that the constitution's own musical time lie the foundations that sustain affective production and signifying that common sense attributes to the Iberian repertoire, especially the Portuguese songbook.

  8. Katechon and right of resistance: an approach from the Middle Ages

    Cecilia DEVIA

    Original title: Katechon y derecho de resistencia: una aproximación desde la Edad Media

    Published in Medieval and Early Modern Iberian Peninsula Cultural History

    Keywords: Galicia, Katechon, Late Middle Ages, Right of resistance, Violence.

    The figure katechon is a complex and ambiguous character, based on a biblical quote taken from the Second Epistle of Paul to the Thessalonians. Expresses the power to “slow” or “holds” the coming of the Antichrist and therefore the confrontation between the forces of good and evil, which precedes the return of the Messiah and the end of the world. In this paper we build on the analysis undertaken on the concept by different contemporary thinkers. If the figure of katechon be applied in relation to the uprisings in medieval and early modern radical character as those inspired by millenarian movements, one could consider that the daily resistance of the dominated, mostly passive features, would act as a brake for the arrival of the end of the world, necessary for the advent of a new one.

This is a work of Portuguese literature about hunting, written by a royal falconer in the first quarter of the XVII century.

    Keywords: Courtly etiquette, Eating ceremonies, Hispanic monarchy, Iberian courts.

    One of the most remarkable characteristics of modern European monarchies was the adoption of the etiquette system in the habits of the royal household and noblemen in general. This system relates structurally to the building of hierarchies and the creation of symbolic attributes within the courts. This article presents a contribution to the studies regarding the rapport between courtly etiquette and eating ceremonies, either public or private, during the reigns of monarchs from the House of Habsburg, since Charles V to Philip III of Spain.
