António Manuel Hespanha: A Constant Guide for My Research

Description

Abstract:
The first part of my essay focuses on the significance of the international conference on the juridical dimension of social history, organized by Paolo Grossi in Florence (April 1985), at which I met António Manuel Hespanha for the first time. I was consequently able to learn about, and later study, his História das Instituições: Épocas medieval e moderna (1982), which has subsequently proved an essential tool for my research. The second part focuses on the significance of Hespanha’s essay “Revuelta y revoluciones” (1993) for my studies over the last twelve years on the question of the early modern revolts as forms of lawful resistance according to the jurisprudential literature of 'ius commune.'
A primeira parte deste ensaio centra-se no significado da conferência internacional organizada por Paolo Grossi em Florença (Abril 1985) sobre a dimensão jurídica da história social, quando conheci pessoalmente António Manuel Hespanha e, por consequência, tomei contacto e pude estudar a sua História das Instituições: Épocas medieval e moderna (1982) que era (e ainda é) fundamental para a minha investigação. A segunda parte foca-se no significado do artigo de Hespanha Revuelta y revoluciones (1993) para os meus trabalhos nos últimos 12 anos sobre as revoltas da época moderna enquanto formas de resistência legítima de acordo com a literatura jurisprudencial do 'ius commune'.
