- The many cities of a capital: Naples in early modern history History of Naples (16th-17th cent.) Spanish presence in Naples (16th-17th cent.) Neapolitan civic administration Neapolitan aristocracy Spanish viceroys in Naples Naples represents an interesting case study within the context of Spanish territories in Italy. More than elsewhere, in Naples the orders issued in Madrid, and carried by the viceroys, needed to be negotiated with the prerogative of the local authorities, aristocracy in particular. During Spanish domination important works were made not only to improve city conditions, but also to ensure security and visibility to Spanish power. The demographic growth, the afflux of nobles from the rest of the Kingdom, the increasing number of ecclesiastics were all factors that concurred to increase in Naples conflicts and tensions, in which local institutions, both civic and ecclesiastical, played an important role.

This chapter explores the material culture of everyday life in late-Renaissance Paris by setting L’Estoile’s diaries and after-death inventory against a sample of the inventories of thirty-nine of his colleagues. L’Estoile and his family lived embedded in the society of royal office-holders and negotiated their place in its hierarchy with mixed success. His home was cramped and his wardrobe rather shabby. The paintings he displayed in the reception rooms reveal his iconoclastic attitude to the visual, contrasting with the overwhelming number of Catholic devotional pictures displayed by his colleagues. Yet the collection he stored in his study and cabinet made him stand out in his milieu as a distinguished curieux. It deserves a place in the early modern history of collecting, as his example reveals that the civil wars might be a stimulus as much as a disruption to collecting in sixteenth-century France.

Looking at historiography and methodology for the risks of Eurocentrism and presentism, this essay reflects on the study of the history of religion in the two decades of the Journal of Early Modern History’s life to date. It first counts the locations of the subjects of the Journal’s articles, both generally and specifically on religion, to measure patterns in geographical focus. Considering the language these articles use to describe religion, the essay then draws a contrast between treating religion on its own terms and adapting a more analytical, though invasive, approach. Andrew Gow’s emphasis on continuity between the medieval and the early-modern inspires a late-traditional perspective that avoids both eurocentrism and presentism.

The fragmentary stela of Meryre, presently in Vienna (no. 5814), is one of very few objects known from this Eighteenth Dynasty individual. This article presents two partial sketches of the stela found in a collection of the sketches and rubbings of the nineteenth-century traveller Paul Durand which is presently in Montreal. One allows us partially to reconstruct the missing fragment of the stela, and records of dates in the collection permit some educated guesses about the early modern history of the stela.

RESUMENEn este estudio se realiza un estado de la cuestión de la producción española sobre la historia de la muerte reflexionando acerca de sus modelos historiográficos y metodológicos, la orientación de sus objetivos y su ubicación en un eje histórico básico: las coordenadas tiempo y espacio. Más que un recorrido exhaustivo por autores y trabajos que pudiera sugerir un tema agotado, se plantea la necesidad de incorporar la perspectiva individual en el análisis de la vivencia histórica de la muerte y la utilización integral de la fuente testamentaria valorando su condición de documento personal, cuya inclusión permitiría una aproximación al tema más compleja y matizada.PALABRAS CLAVEActitudes y discursos ante la muerte, historia de la muerte, siglos XVI, XVII y XVIII, historiografía española, historia de las mentalidades, historia moderna. TITLEDiscourses and practices around death. Reflections about 40 years of modern historiography in SpainABSTRACTIn this study I discuss the matter of Spanish works about the history of death, reflecting on its historiographies and methodological models, the orientation of its aims and its location on a basic historical axis: the time-space axis. More than an exhaustive study of authors and works that might lead one to think about an over discussed topic, I bring to attention the need to incorporate individual perspective in the analysis of the experience of death and the integral use of the testamentary source, acknowledging its condition as a personal document, the recognition of which allows an approach to a most complex and nuanced subject.KEY WORDSAttitudes and Discourses to Death; History of Death; XVI, XVII and XVIII Centuries; Spanish Historiographic; Cultural History; Early Modern History.
