Visigothic Kingdom

Sabine Panzram is Professor of Ancient History at Hamburg University (Germany). She focuses on social history of power in the Western Mediterranean, and in particular on urban history in the Iberian Peninsula. Currently she is preparing a study on Christendom without the Church: The Genesis of an Institution in the Dioecesis Hispaniarum (4th to 7th centuries). Paulo Pachá is Assistant Professor of Medieval History at the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). He works on the history of the Visigothic kingdom and the development of its political structure and power relationships.

Sin lugar a duda, estamos frente a una obra que tiene el potencial de convertirse en un libro de referencia. Una de sus características es que está en diálogo con las distintas producciones académicas de sus autores, lo cual crea una invitación para su búsqueda y estudio. También cuenta con múltiples dimensiones y niveles de lecturas; sus capítulos no solo presentan estados de la cuestión e investigaciones originales, sino también abren interrogantes que no responden de forma acabada, lo cual es una virtud porque incentiva a nuevos análisis desde un enfoque interdisciplinario. Desde ya celebramos las futuras investigaciones que surjan a partir de este libro.- Sabrina Orlowski, Universidad Nacional de La Plata, Argentina, Sociedades Precapitalistas, vol. 11 (2021)
