The Circulation and Translation of Uztáriz’s Theórica in Italy
No full textThis book is devoted to Spanish economist Gerónimo de Uztáriz and his work on economics as a whole, especially the Theórica y práctica de comercio, y de marina—The Theory and Practice of Commerce and Maritime Affairs. This lengthy and eminent treatise was first published in Madrid, possibly between 1724 and 1725, and the years 2024 and 2025 therefore mark the first edition’s tercentenary.The Theórica was and is well known in the Spanish-speaking world as a whole, but this has not been the case outside it, despite the enormous international success it enjoyed in eighteenth-century Europe. While there is a wide range of literature about the book in Spanish, we still lack an interpretation of Uztáriz and the Theórica that is oriented to an international audience—as the work itself ultimately aimed to be—that discusses it in the context of its own time and presents it in all its multiple dimensions. This requires an interpretation that starts with the history of economic thought, but is based on dialogue between specialists in related disciplines (diplomatic history, history of politics and linguistics) and with a thorough knowledge of the “long” eighteenth century and Enlightenment culture, and that is what this collective volume aims to achieve

Los jesuitas españoles expulsos y la educación de las élites italianas (1767-1815)
No full textThe exile of Spanish jesuits (1767-1815) produced several cultural, social and economic effects on the Italian society. Some Iberian, American and Philippine fathers began to be appreciated by the Italian élites, especially in the North Center region of Italy: such a new period started since 1773, when Clement XIV suppressed the Society of Jesus. They tried to enter the education sphere, mainly as private tutors of aristocratic and patrician young scions. This success originated from numerous reasons. First of all, they offered a education which joined a traditional outlook with a modern one, linked with Enlightenment culture; in other words, their «educational supply» met a specific «demand» coming from the italian élites. In addition, to be foreigners gave
a cosmopolitan dimension to their teaching. At last, several Spanish Jesuits who cohabited with or
attended the italian aristocracy’s houses often held (or shared out) a plurality of offices: they were
not only tutors, but also librarians, secretaries, administrators and spiritual directors, so much so that some of them complained to be exploited by their employers
