In classical antiquity the debate arose about what was more important: human actions or their recreation in writing, in the form of history. Sallust perhaps stands out above the rest in this debate. The dichotomy between ‘agere historiam’ and ‘scribere historiam’, which serves the historian to justify his work by placing it at the same level or even above the protagonist of events, became a recurring literary topic in later historiography, and particularly in Renaissance Neolatin istoriography. Underlying this debate is the concept of ‘industria’, as an activity opposed to inaction, a concept assiduously repeated in the prefaces of Renaissance historiography, to reflect, in line with Sallust, the importance of the historian’s work as a transmitter from past events to future generations, with all its practical and pedagogical implications. We analyze the presence of the word ‘industria’ in the prefaces of some Neo-Latin historians, namely Poggio Bracciolini, Sánchez de Arévalo or Arnoul Le Ferron.

El presente artículo se divide en dos partes claramente diferenciadas. Por un lado, observaremos el pensamiento medieval en torno a lo urbano y por otro, la villa de Arévalo en la Edad Media. En primer lugar trataremos de abordar el ideal de ciudad en el pensamiento de Rodrigo Sánchez de Arévalo, como hombre culto que fue de su tiempo. En segundo lugar abordaremos Arévalo como una villa propiamente medieval, ya que se formó, desarrolló y articuló como espacio urbano en este momento de la Historia. Asimismo mostraremos el rico patrimonio medieval conservado, recuperado, abandonado y perdido de la dicha villa.

No presente artigo, busca-se avaliar as possíveis mudanças ou continuidades do pensamento político de Nicolau de Cusa, especialmente no que diz respeito à relação entre Papa e Concílio, em dois momentos distintos de sua carreira eclesiástica e filosófica: em primeiro lugar, na obra A concordância católica (De concordantia catholica - DCC, 1433), considerada por alguns estudiosos como a suma de sua posição conciliarista e, em segundo lugar, na Carta a Rodrigo Sánchez de Arévalo (Epistola ad Rodericum Sancium de Arevalo - ERSA, 1442) , considerada pelos comentadores como a melhor expressão de sua nova posição, a de um centralismo papal. A partir da avaliação dessas obras, conclui-se que, apesar de uma “mudança de partido” depois do rompimento com o Concílio de Basiléia, o pensamento político de Nicolau de Cusa é inclassificável dentre as categorias opostas “conciliarista” e “papalista”. Desse modo, poderia ser considerado um “absolutismo cristocêntrico”, tanto em DCC como em ERSA.

Rodrigo Sánchez de Arévalo pasó de ser un conciliarista radical a defensor a ultranza del absolutismo pontificio. Dos obras ofrecen un destacado desarrollo de sus ideas: De libera et irrefragabili auctoritate Romani Pontificis (1464/1465) y De sceleribus Turchi (1467). Parte Arévalo del origen divino del poder, fundamentado en san Pablo y en los títulos de vicarius Christi y princeps. Dos cualidades esenciales posee la potestas papal: plena e ilimitada. Utiliza la doctrina aristotélica de la epiqueya para sostener el libérrimo ejercicio del poder papal. Arévalo considera las relaciones entre el papa y el colegio cardenalicio, cuya facultad limita a la elección de la persona del papa, del que son súbditos, recurriendo a la imagen corporativa del papa como cabeza del cuerpo eclesial.

Este artículo se propone estudiar el lugar que ocupa la Compendiosa historia Hispanica de Rodrigo Sánchez de Arévalo (1470) en el contexto de su época, con especial atención a la influencia que ejerció su maestro Alfonso de Cartagena en él. Para ello, se analiza la relación entre ellos; a continuación, la influencia de la retórica clásica en la labor historiográfica de ambos autores, la relación de la Compendiosa frente al humanismo italiano y, por último, su relación con la tradición historiográfica hispana, en especial con la Anacephaleosis de Alfonso de Cartagena.

By the end of the Middle Ages, a number of treatises were written which scholars have regarded as true proposals for an ideal city. This paper focuses on Rodrigo Sánchez de Arévalo’s Suma de la Política. After breaking down the main components of his ideal city into three major sections (the physical environment, the social body and the practice of sound government), the paper argues that, under pretext of founding a city and far from considering the latter from the architectural and formal point of view, the Segovia-born churchman saw it as an expresion of a given social and political order. This he did by resorting to a conservative and moral conception of politics while accepting such urban-planning, social and political foundations as were prevalent in the society in which he lived. In this way, Sánchez de Arévalo’s discourse goes beyond the purely urban setting and becomes a vindication of the monarchic form of government. The latter is thus presented as the custodian of the commonwealth as well as an ideal system which –it is concluded– each social and political actor redirects and uses in the service of his particular goals and interests.

El objeto de este artículo es analizar las particularidades literarias de los tratados bajomedievales destinados a la formación de los regidores urbanos en la Baja Edad Media. Este tipo de tratados se desarrollan como género literario se durante los siglos XIII-XV; en su configuración intervienen tres elementos: las ordenanzas reales sobre el funcionamiento de las instituciones locales, los textos pedagógicos sobre materia política y moral de la Antigüedad Clásica y Tardía, y la tratadística coetánea europea, especialmente la elaborada en el humanismo italiano. La segunda parte del artículo se centra en exponer la influencia de los tratados italianos sobre los hispanos, con autores como Egidio Romano (De regimine principum), Leonardo Bruni (De nobiliate) o Bartolo de Sasoferrato (De insigniis et armis), entre otros. Por otra parte, los tratados peninsulares que permiten un mejor estudio de la caracterización ideal de la nobleza urbana con responsabilidades políticas son las obras de Ramón Llull, don Juan Manuel, Francesc Eiximenis, Juan de Alarcón, Alonso de Cartagena, Rodrigo Sánchez de Arévalo y Diego de Valera.

This paper uses the autobiographical writings of bishop Rodrigo Sánchez de Arévalo (1404-1470) to address the process of discernment of vocation, and therefore choice of studies and career. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Medieval attitudes towards music range between appreciation of artistry and moralistic preoccupation. On the one hand, music, as an academic discipline, was part of the ideal of education; on the other, from the vantage-point of natural philosophy, ethics and metaphysics, it served to improve an individual in body and soul - and yet here the effect of music on the passions hove into view, capable as it was of producing moral disorder. The Judaeo-Christian and Greco-Latin traditions were agreed in thus pointing to music's dual aspect. And although Isidore of Seville propounded a view of music which emphasised the technical and favoured its study as one of the Arts, more diffident evaluations of music were also expressed, some of which are straightforward whilst others are more difficult for the modern reader to grasp. Without being at all comprehensive, some key points will mentioned as examples, from the Libro de Alexandre, the Libro de Apolonio, the Libro de buen amor by the Archpriest of Hita, Martín Pérez's Libro de las confessiones, and the Speculum vitae humanae by Rodrigo Sánchez de Arévalo.
