In ancient times the Greco-Roman world, in its adherence to a system of dotal marriage, distinguished itself from the barbarians who hovered on its borders and who gave bridewealth for their wives, not dowry to their daughters. Aristotle-perhaps recalling Homeric accounts of marriages like that of Hector, who married Andromache out of the house of Edtion &dquo;when he provided great bridewealth [hedna]&dquo; (Iliad, XXII:472)’-claimed that the Greeks had

The old law of Bizkaia (1452) : introductory study and critical edition

On February 18, 1724, field marshal Antonio Manso Maldonado arrived in New Granada as the president, governor, and captain-general of the New Kingdom. He had been appointed to this position on December 4, 1723, because both the crown and the Chamber of the Indies thought it would be best executed by a military officer. Manso Maldonado could boast more than 30 years of military service, proven loyalty, and administrative experience, much of it during the first reign of Felipe V. After joining the royal armies as a private, Manso Maldonado rose steadily through the ranks, fighting the Moors in Ceuta and the French in the wars of the late seventeenth century. During the War of the Spanish Succession, he served at the orders of the militant bishop of Murcia and last viceroy of Valencia, Luis Belluga, who praised Manso’s valor directly to the king.1 Most important perhaps, at the end of the War of the Spanish Succession and upon the occupation of Catalonia by Bourbon forces, Manso Maldonado had served as teniente de rey in Gerona (1716–1719) and Barcelona (1719–1723), witnessing first-hand the implementation of the Nueva Planta2 and the enforcement of royal authority over the rebellious principality.3

"Of Experience, Zeal, and Selflessness": Military Officers as Viceroys in Early Eighteenth Century Spanish America

La categoria de las penas infamantes existio tanto en el Derecho frances codificado como en el Derecho frances de finales del Antiguo Regimen. Ante la ausencia de estudios historiograficos sobre esta materia en el Derecho espanol, el presente estudio trata sobre la naturaleza de esas penas y sobre su nocion en las fuentes de las postrimerias del Antiguo Regimen castellano.

Las penas infamantes en las fuentes jurídicas castellanas de finales del Antiguo Régimen: naturaleza y noción

This article is centered on two issues. The first is the study of the Spanish Crown’s constitutionalization initiatives in New Spain in the context of a corporate legal tradition stepped in anthropomorphic analogies. This phenomenon includes the institutional reconfiguration of the Spanish Crown between 1781 and 1793, one of the key aspects of the Bourbon Reforms in New Spain. In its second section, the article analyzes the challenges posed by the Spanish Constitution of 1812 on the nascent treasury of New Spain, then under the strain of a bloody civil war that prevented its institutional development. This will show the diversity of political and fiscal culture in New Spain in terms of the meanings and scopes that can be ascribed to the constitutionalization process, as well as its differing impact on the government, the management of public funds (royal and public/national, depending on the circumstances) and the tax system.
