    Lectura moral y recepción mozárabe de "Esse buen rey don Alonso / el de la mano horadada". Fuentes y contextos del Romancero de historia de España.
    (Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones., 2024) Garvin, Mario
    The first known record of the romance Esse buen rey don Alonso / el de la mano horadada is in the Cancionero de romances, printed by Martín Nucio in Antwerp in 1546 or 1547, although the romance predates these dates. This paper investigates the possible origins of this romance, proposing that it was composed in Toledo between the 1530s and 1540s. Based on these coordinates, three reception phases are proposed. The first, by Nucio, proposes a historical reading; a moral reading, somewhat later and typical of the loose sheets; and finally, a reading in a Mozarabic key, likely the most immediate to its composition.

    Salamanca, Unamuno y la Guerra de España
    (Universidad de Murcia, CEPOAT, 2026) Fernández Doctor, Juan José; Sin departamento asociado
    This study proposes a chronological journey through the final months of Don Miguel de Unamuno y Jugo’s life within the framework of his social and intellectual life in Salamanca during the outbreak and consolidation of the Spanish Civil War. This exhibition explores Unamuno’s progressive isolation month by month: from his initial doubts and contradictions regarding the political climate, through his ambiguous and approving stance regarding the July Coup, to the famous October 12th speech in the auditorium and his subsequent social rejection and forced seclusion. Through this reading, we will analyze how the war reconfigured the urban, intellectual, and emotional space of Salamanca, as well as the way Unamuno embodies the struggle between commitment and despair, between words and silence. Thus, this work engages with narrative, epistolary, and testimonial sources to weave together a figure who is dying not only as an individual, but as the collective conscience of a broken nation.
