The Knowledge of the pragmatici. The Presence and Meaning of Pragmatic Normative Literature in Ibero-America during the Late 16th and Early 17th Centuries (C02)

• Subject Area: Principles of Law and Jurisprudence
• Term: from 2015 to 2018
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 230856760

The project is dedicated to the first century of the establishment of Spanish colonial order in America and analyses the significance of texts which could be labelled as ¿pragmatical literature¿ in the field of law and moral theology. It is quite probable that these texts were highly functional for the organisation of society, due to their reduced complexity, and might have substituted other resources.
