Academic disciplines in the «Quixote» or «siendo de toda imposibilidad imposible»

En el Quijote están presentes la vida universitaria y todas las disciplinas integrantes del trivium y del quadrivium, así como el derecho, la medicina y la teología. Además, los conocimientos sobre dichas disciplinas no son los vulgares, sino propios de alguien que las ha estudiado en profundidad.

Moreover, we are sure that Cervantes did not attend any university and could not devote himself to studying if the characteristics of his life are taken into account. This discrepancy has been noticed by many researchers. This paper concludes that Cervantes could not write a book full of all Greco-Roman and biblical wisdom

“Our Real Enemies”: Political Foundations of the Legality and Legitimacy of the Spanish “New State,” 1936-45

The legality and political legitimacy of the Francoist New State in Spain during the Civil War and the immediate post-war period entailed the formulation of a doctrine and criminal legislation that enabled the regime to repress its political opponents, as well as to gain control over Spanish society as a whole.
