| Abstract | Paper -a:
En el presente trabajo, se han recopilado todas las treguas existentes entre Granada y los reinos de Castilla y Aragón. A partir de lo anterior, se ha realizado una sistematización de la información, generando gráficas que nos han permitido visualizar las complejas dinámicas fronterizas que se establecieron entre los siglos XIII y XV. Todo lo anterior, corrobora lo que la historiografía reciente ha establecido en relación con el comportamiento fronterizo, como frontera abierta y cerrada,a la vez,donde se combinan la dinámica de la violencia y la paz. Todo lo anterior, verificado a partir de los aspectos formales, los pulsos y tiempos de la frontera, que etablecen las treguas.
Paper -b:
The co-existence of Christian and Jewish communities in many medieval Portuguese urban centres led to various trade activities, with benefits for both parties: royal notaries issued juridical acts certifying these commercial relationships, according to specific regulations within a set of rules on the preparation of authentic documents. Through case studies, I will attempt to explain how the preserved notarial acts reflect the practice of legislation issued by various 14th century Portuguese kings, with regard to the conditions for the completion of such contracts between Christians and Jewish others, as well as the taxes to be charged by the notary public.
Paper -c:
Catalonia had in its Medieval Jewry many eminent rabbis who led the Jewish orthodoxy in Occident, Rabbi Nissim Gerondi, Solomon ben Adret, or Moshe ben Nachman among them. Through their letters and other documents they spoke about daily Jewish life in the Crown of Aragon, and in particular in Catalonia. As we will see in this paper, this community was not isolated from the rest of the Catalan society and the contact between Christian and Jewish people in many areas was reflected in their writings.
