This series brings together critical, philological editions of major works that were censored by the Iberian Inquisition or that challenged the prevailing narratives of Imperial Spain and Portugal, alongside contemporary scholarly studies offering new insights into their historical and cultural significance. Each volume presents meticulously edited texts paired with expert analyses, providing an integrated and comprehensive exploration of the intellectual, social, and cultural forces at play in late medieval and early modern Iberia.
The series engages not only with the history of religion but also with the broader history of thought, intellectual history, and social and cultural history. It explores key themes such as imperialism, race, identity, and blood, examining how these ideas were instrumental in shaping Iberian societies. The volumes particularly highlight the self-perception and self-narration of religious, racial, and social minorities, as well as dissident members of dominant groups. These voices are juxtaposed with the texts and discourses that were used to dominate and silence them, offering a nuanced understanding of the complex and often contentious relationships that defined the period.
By publishing both critical editions and groundbreaking scholarship, the series makes an essential contribution to the study of the intellectual and cultural currents of early modern Iberia. It serves as an indispensable resource for scholars seeking to understand the intersections of power, belief, and identity during a formative period in Iberian history. With several volumes already available and more currently in development, the series continues to expand and offer vital contributions to the field.
