Panorama de la historiografía, obras jurídicas y de pensamiento político en Vasconia (1512-1794)

Abstract

Historiographical and legal production, and political theorisation in the Basque Country (Vasconia) in the 16h though 18th centuries, while closely interrelated, have a relatively important development that is mainly aimed at defence and maintaining the fuero status of the respective territories. A group of predominantly secular authors, normally with legal training, took up the task of ordering and compiling the various fuero systems and building a historical basis to justify these differentiated legal and political systems.
