Playing at Soldiers
“While convalescing from a serious illness, I found myself so melancholic that the doctors judged the latter malady more worthy of fear than the former [illness], and in order to root it out with diversion, some friends undertook to play the game of the goose with me. I took note with some care of the construction of that game, and I decided that it would be more useful to apply it to the spirit.” With these words Trinitarian friar Agustín de Gua…
Inclusive approaches for cumulative effects assessments
The cumulative impacts of human activities and natural disturbance are leading to loss and extinction of species, ecological communities and biocultural connections people have to those ecosystems. Exclusive and extractive western science methodologies often hinder the inclusion of Indigenous knowledge holders in cumulative effects assessments (CEAs), which can lead to regional conflict and ineffective assessment and management of cumulative effe…

City of Illusions
The Stations of the Cross in Colonial Mexico
As Catholicism expanded into a truly global religion during the early modern era, shared devotions and pious practices became important elements that knitted together the great diversity of the Catholic world. One such devotion was the stations of the cross or via crucis, in which the faithful followed the path of Jesus from condemnation to crucifixion and entombment, using key events in the story of the passion as inspiration for contemplation a…

This copy, now in the collection of the University of Michigan (P.Mich. inv. 531), offers some valuable new readings as well as evidence for the readership of Ibn Ezra in a provincial setting in medieval Egypt, as its provenance can be traced to the city of Medinet e…

The Early Modern Hispanic World
Iberia stands at the center of key trends in Atlantic and world histories, largely because Portugal and Spain were the first European kingdoms to 'go global'. The Early Modern Hispanic World engages with new ways of thinking about the early modern Hispanic past, as a field of study that has grown exponentially in recent years. It focuses predominantly on questions of how people understood the rapidly changing world in which they lived - how they …

Martha K. Hoffman, Raised to Rule
Gift, Sale, and Theft
In 1599 Valencia celebrated the arrival of an ancient Christian martyr whose remains were the latest addition to the collection of the city's archbishop, Juan de Ribera (1532-1611). Through an examination of some of Archbishop Ribera's relic acquisitions, I explore the inner workings of the early modern sacred economy of relics. Ribera's collection strategies blended distinct modes of exchange and linked him to a clandestine economy of relic thef…

Inventing the Sacred
Incipient Globalization? Long-Distance Contacts in the Sixth Century
This volume comprises the publication of a one-day conference held at the University of London (School of Oriental and African Studies) on 19th November 2005. The title of this volume is borrowed from Jan Aarte Scholte, who uses 'incipient globalization' to describe what he sees as the second historic stage of globalization: the period between the 1850s and 1950s, when means and modes of communication such as the telegraph, radio, television, aer…

The Sacromonte and the Geography of the Sacred in Early Modern Granada
En las últimas décadas del siglo XVI, se hallaron en la ciudad de Granada una serie de documentos falsificados y unas supuestas reliquias. Este artículo examina cómo el Sacromonte, el sitio de los hallazgos más destacados, fue convertido en el paisaje simbólico de la identidad espiritual granadina. Las reliquias y las circunstancias milagrosas con las cuales estaban relacionadas efectuaron una reconfiguración de la geografía sagrada de la ciudad,…
Forging History
In the late sixteenth century, treasure hunters in Granada, Spain, discovered a series of forged documents and saints' relics, collectively referred to as the plomos (lead books) of Granada. Through a close reading of a seventeenth-century ecclesiastical history of Granada, this article examines how interpretations of the plomos allowed for a recasting of Moorish Granada's past in a Christian mold. The history's author, Francisco Bermudez de Pedr…
