Las ordenanzas locales son una valiosa fuente de información en relación a diferentes aspectos de la organización de la vida en la localidad. Buena parte de ellas, contiene prescripciones atentas al equilibrio entre la explotación y la necesaria conservación de los montes. Las que aquí se analizan corresponden a la segunda mitad del siglo XVI y al ámbito de la ciudad de Nájera y su comarca.

La capilla mayor y el crucero de la iglesia de Santoña se trazaron, en estilo manuelino, durante el abadiato de Diego de Santoyo (1514-1517), abad de Nájera. Se volvió a confirmar el permiso de construcción en 1519. La fecha de la traza permite pensar en Juan de Castillo e incluso en que llegara desde Portugal un diseño de Diogo Boytac o Mateus Fernandes. Un portugués –Fernando o Fernández–, presente en Nájera en 1515, debió de trazar el claustro de Nájera que abovedó Juan de Rasines, pero sus tracerías están directamente relacionadas con el claustro Real del monasterio de Batalha (Portugal).

Abstract The city of Nájera, located in the north of the Iberian Peninsula, hosts an alcazar of Arab origin, which became the residence of the king of Pamplona-Nájera and later of the duke and duchess of Nájera. From this last period (1500–1600) date the ceramics that were unearthed during the recent excavations of the Alcázar of Nájera. These findings constitute the largest post-Medieval assemblage of ceramic pieces unearthed in the city. They include a large set of plain tin–lead glazed pieces of tableware, as well as some mono or polychrome decorated sherds. In this work, an archaeometric characterization was carried out on a subsample of these ceramics (n = 94) by means of a multi-analytical strategy. The pastes were analyzed chemically and mineralogically by ICP-MS and XRD, respectively. Further evaluations on a subsample of ceramic glazes was carried out by SEM–EDS and Raman microscopy. The preliminary results enabled establishing a main large compositional group (NAJ-A) and a smaller one (NAJ-B) which could tentatively be linked to a local production origin. Moreover, exogenous provenances such as Muel and Talavera were identified after the comparison with data from other Spanish contemporary majolica pottery productions.

El Museo Najerillense se encuentra en Nájera (La Rioja), dentro del antiguo palacio Abacial y botica monástica de Santa María la Real. Nace de la voluntad de los vecinos de Nájera y su entorno, apoyados por el Ayuntamiento de la ciudad. La sección de arqueología contiene algunos elementos singulares de diferentes épocas. Destacan los útiles paleolíticos de las terrazas del río Cárdenas, las placas y bloques celtibéricos con decoración excisa, la colección de moldes romanos de Tritium empleados para elaborar terra sigillata y el ajuar cerámico aportado por las excavaciones del Alcázar de Nájera.

El panteón real de Nájera se configuró y planificó en 1545. El arquitecto Juan Martínez de Mutio levantó las bóvedas que lo cobijan y el pintor Alonso Gallego lo diseñó con veinticinco sepulturas y dos heraldos. En la ejecución de los orantes y yacentes que lo adornan hubo de contar con la participación de un escultor, seguramente Arnao de Bruselas. Las esculturas se realizaron en piedra arenisca local, pero se revistieron con un enlucido a imitación del alabastro.

The Jewish population of Nájera (La Rioja) formed one of the largest and most prominent aljamas within the Kingdom of Navarre and, later, in the Kingdom of Castile. Two separate Jewish quarters are documented within the city, but their location and chronology have not been the subject of a systematic survey. This paper presents preliminary results from a multi-year study of the urban remains of medieval Nájera that places the aljama of Nájera within its urban context. The Jews of Nájera are identified with two successive areas of occupation. The first, within the city proper, was occupied until the construction of Santa María la Real in 1052. The second, located above the city on the hill known as Malpica, was juridically independent of the Christian town and remained so until the expulsion of the Jews in 1492. This settlement can be identified with standing architectural remains on Malpica including a circuit wall and remains of substantial stone foundations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Este artículo tiene como objeto presentar la Reunión de Nájera, donde se generó un intenso foro de debate entre las diversas asociaciones profesionales de conservadores-restauradores y los centros educativos que imparten el Grado en Conservación-Restauración. Esta dinámica fue coordinada por ACRE con el objeto de desarrollar el Plan Estratégico de ECCO, la Confederación Europea de Organizaciones de Conservadores-Restauradores. Toma su nombre gracias a la colaboración de la Escuela de Patrimonio Histórico de Nájera del IPCE, en cuya sede se desarrolló el programa de contenidos a lo largo de dos días de intensa actividad. Conscientes del impulso generado por la dinámica de trabajo y cooperación, merece alimentarse y seguir avanzando, sumando e integrando todas las voces activas de la profesión.

The «universal» water treatment, advocated and defended by Seville’s appointed official doctor, Juan Vázquez de Cortés, was strongly contested and refuted by the Galenist José Ortiz Barroso, an important member of the Royal Medical Society of Seville, generating a controversy that culminated in a series of publications that appeared in Seville from 1735 to 1740. The controversy went beyond the local level and was echoed by the philosopher monks Benito Feijoo and Juan de Nájera, who also actively took sides. In this contribution, rather than critically review the related texts, we analyze the criticisms, opinions and approvals of the anonymous or figuratively signed papers, comparing them to Father Feijoo’s literary work and personal approach.

El presente trabajo de investigación sobre la ciudad de Nájera en el tránsito de la Edad Media a la Moderna, se enmarca dentro de un Proyecto de Investigación más amplio que tiene como objetivo el estudio de la articulación del poder político en el mundo urbano de la comarca de La Rioja Alta a fines del Medievo. Un estudio que iniciamos con nuestra Tesis Doctoral sobre la villa de Haro en la centuria del cuatrocientos. En la presente investigación nos ocupamos de la ciudad de Nájera, y concretamente de su organización municipal, de su sociedad y de las relaciones que mantendrá este núcleo urbano riojano con sus señores, Pedro Manrique y Antonio Manrique, desde el año 1466 hasta los violentos sucesos que marcarán en Nájera el tránsito de la Edad Media a la Edad Moderna. Para ello vamos a utilizar una documentación que procede esencialmente de los Archivos Histórico Nacional, General de Simancas y Real Chancillería de Valladolid.

This article examines the composition of the Historia Roderici and seeks to address the contexts of its production and the resulting implications. Given the general historical accuracy of the text, underscored and presented here in significant detail, this study proposes dating the text with certain proximity to the events it narrates. Furthermore, its relationship with the cultural milieu of Alfonso I of Aragon (r. 1104-34) and some of the initiatives undertaken in his time suggests placing the text in this context, which reveals a profound connection with the memory of Rodrigo Diaz. From these premises, the text is interpreted according to its chivalric and ideological content, as well as to the selection, presentation and manipulation of events. One of the objectives of the Historia Roderici would have been for the kingdom of Aragon to appropriate the symbolic potential of Rodrigo's image. In sum, this article attempts to read the Historia Roderici beyond its documentary value, which has been the focus of almost all critical studies of the text. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
