ABSTRACT The turn to materiality as an increasingly important element of the study of the Middle Ages both emerges from and responds to a range of intellectual and epistemological trends over the last forty years or so. One field which might provide fertile ground for the centering of such questions is precisely that of digital textual editing, both because of advances in the theory of critical editing and because the digital mode may offer alternative spaces to accommodate material aspects of manuscript culture to those of printed editions. In what follows then, I aim to review what digital critical editing of iberomedieval works has done so far, and what the future might hold for materiality in digital iberomedievalism.

Ce travail propose une etude de l’Histoire d’Espagne a la lumiere de ses contextes internes et externes, afin de verifier si l’œuvre est coherente ou non d’un point de vue textuel et politique. A travers l’analyse de la seule section complete du texte conservee dans un manuscrit alphonsin – l’histoire romaine –, et l’examen du role de l’exercice du pouvoir et des caracteristiques des gouvernants, on demontre que par leur habilete discursive, les compilateurs alphonsins ont compose une histoire parfaitement coherente.

The survival of the -ra verb form in Castillan was contingent on a range of syntactic modifications in the system. Its preservation was due, in great part, to the possibilities offered by the form in dislocated, counterfactual contexts. An example of such a context is provided by conditional sentences. This paper examines the function of the -ra form in the conditional sentences of the «Estoria de Espanna», with a view to establishing, how the usage of the verb form came to be modified

El nombre del navarro García de Eugui, obispo de Bayona y confesor de Carlos II y Carlos III de Navarra, aparece al comienzo de una de las crónicas que, dentro de la tradición iniciada por Alfonso X, fueron compuestas en la Península durante el siglo XIY Pero es la Genealogía de los Reyes de Navarra, contenida en los últimos ocho folios del códice más antiguo, el texto al que, a pesar de sus limitaciones y defectos, se ha venido asociando el nombre de Eugui hasta nuestros días. Y no es de extrañar, si pensamos que se trata de uno de los primeros autores conocidos que consideró la materia de la historia de Navarra como merecedora de un tratamiento singular e independiente al del resto de la historia peninsular. Sin embargo, debemos igualmente reconocer que esta Genealogía, escrita como era de esperar siguiendo los reinados de los sucesivos reyes, no representa sino una primera y aún balbuciente etapa dentro de la evolución de la historiografía navarra, dependiente como es, en gran me...

The Iberian Peninsula has been, historically, a crossroad of peoples, cultures and intellectual exchange. In its evolution, the Middle Ages, and particularly the 13th century, were essential for the crystallisation of the Iberian identities and the series of institutions that would result in the creation of the states that now occupy the peninsula.
With a multidisciplinary approach, experts in different fields have been invited to share their views on different aspects of Iberian Medievalism: the study of institutions, how religion was understood, the art that was created, and to the literature produced during the period. Always with the goal of offering a kaleidoscopic view that incorporates the different political identities that coexisted in the peninsula: the different Christian kingdoms and the Islamic presence of Al-Andalus.
The event will be accessible in person and online, so you can join us at Edgbaston Campus, or from the comfort of your home. You just need to register at https://medievaliberia.eventbrite.co.uk/ and tell us if you are coming in person or attending online.
