August of 1391 the Jewish community in Barcelona was attacked and most of its members converted to Christianity. This meant the end of Barcelona’s Jewish Aljama, but not the end of the debts owed to their creditors. To collect these debts, the monarchy created a special commission for forcing all converts and Jews of Barcelona to pay these debts. This article reveals how it worked this commission and his organization

The registred tendencies in this chronologies talks about a specialized stock breeding; this one is not centre to a concret specy. It is centre to the products that are available to be obtained from the livestock as a whole. Cattle, pig, sheep and goat become the main exploited animals, although their representation is not homogeneus in all sites. An intensified and specialized exploitation of the livestock, made some changes to the size and morphology of the animals. During this period, these changes clearly appear at the archaeologycal record, been noted that sheeps, cattles and pigs reduced their size more than preceding chronologies

Reyes, acreedores y conversos: el impacto de la política real y de la deuda corporativa en la identidad colectiva de los conversos de Mallorca después de 1391

Royal correspondence of the Kingdom of Majorca reveals that “external” economic factors and royal policies forced the first generations of 1391 conversos to remain a distinct social group. Not long after the anti-Jewish violence and mass conversions of 1391, the conversos of Majorca granted a percentage of their assets to King Joan I. At the same time, the conversos and surviving Jews had to repay the creditors of the former aljama, which had been dissolved following the attack against the Jewish quarter. These two collective financial obligations required the conversos to organize themselves as a group, following the precedent of the aljama, with elected leaders who organized an internal tax collection in order to pay these debts, and who lobbied on behalf of the conversos before the king and before their creditors. This administrative structure set the foundation for the converso confraternity of Sant Miquel, founded in 1404.Un examen detallado de la correspondencia real relativa a Mallorca muestra que factores económicos «externos» y directivas políticas reales obligaron a la primera generación de conversos de 1391 a permanecer como grupo social distintivo. Poco después de producirse la violencia anti-judía y las conversiones masivas de 1391, los conversos de Mallorca tuvieron que otorgar un porcentaje de sus propiedades al rey Juan I. Al mismo tiempo, conversos y judíos supervivientes debían seguir pagando los «censalers» de la aljama de judíos que había sido disuelta tras el ataque en 1391 contra la judería. Estas dos obligaciones financieras colectivas obligaron a los conversos a organizarse, siguiendo el precedente de la aljama, como grupo con líderes elegidos que administraron la colección fiscal interna a fin de pagar esas deudas, e interviniendo a favor de los conversos ante el rey y sus acreedores. Esta estructura administrativa puso los fundamentos de la cofradía conversa de Sant Miquel, establecida en 1404

CIBERER : Spanish national network for research on rare diseases: A highly productive collaborative initiative

Altres ajuts: Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII); Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación.CIBER (Center for Biomedical Network Research; Centro de Investigación Biomédica En Red) is a public national consortium created in 2006 under the umbrella of the Spanish National Institute of Health Carlos III (ISCIII). This innovative research structure comprises 11 different specific areas dedicated to the main public health priorities in the National Health System. CIBERER, the thematic area of CIBER focused on rare diseases (RDs) currently consists of 75 research groups belonging to universities, research centers, and hospitals of the entire country. CIBERER's mission is to be a center prioritizing and favoring collaboration and cooperation between biomedical and clinical research groups, with special emphasis on the aspects of genetic, molecular, biochemical, and cellular research of RDs. This research is the basis for providing new tools for the diagnosis and therapy of low-prevalence diseases, in line with the International Rare Diseases Research Consortium (IRDiRC) objectives, thus favoring translational research between the scientific environment of the laboratory and the clinical setting of health centers. In this article, we intend to review CIBERER's 15-year journey and summarize the main results obtained in terms of internationalization, scientific production, contributions toward the discovery of new therapies and novel genes associated to diseases, cooperation with patients' associations and many other topics related to RD research
