DE NATURA FLORUM
En 2020 se celebra el centenario del nacimiento de Clarice Lispector. Con motivo de esta efeméride, Elena Odriozola, premio Nacional de Ilustración, y Alejandro G. Schnetzer han preparado un proyecto internacional que es un libro imprescindible. De Natura Florum se publicó el 3 de abril de 1971 en el periódico Jornal do Brasil, de Río de Janeiro, y en 1984 integró el volumen A Descoberta do Mundo. El texto, a la manera de un herbario en prosa, se estructura a partir de veinticuatro entradas; las primeras cinco son definiciones botánicas generales, las restantes diecinueve son descripciones de flores, con una poética particular.

YIHAD
La noción de yihad se ha popularizado en las sociedades occidentales durante los últimos años, en particular a raíz de los atentados de las Torres Gemelas en 2001. Sin embargo, al mismo tiempo, constituye uno de los conceptos islámicos peor conocidos para el gran público Qué es realmente el yihad? La guerra santa islámica? Una doctrina que promueve la práctica del terrorismo? Este libro constituye la primera monografía académica especializada publicada en español sobre este controvertido concepto. Partiendo del estudio de los textos de la revelación (Corán y tradición profética) y de algunas de las obras principales de la doctrina islámica clásica, el autor analiza de forma detallada el conjunto de prescripciones y regulaciones que conforman el complejo entramado legal y normativo sobre la práctica bélica tal y como la definieron los ulemas entre los siglos IX al XIII, contribuyendo, de este modo, a perfilar de manera más definida los contornos de la idea de yihad.

Brill Till God Inherits the Earth: Islamic Pious Endowments in al-Andalus (9-15th Centuries)
Till God Inherits the Earth deals with the origins and evolution of the Islamic institution of pious endowments in al-Andalus, analysing its juridical basis and its social-economic role. Evidence is primarily drawn from Andalusi Maliki jurisprudence and from narrative and biographical traditional sources as well.

The book is completed with several appendices including complementary information, translations of Arabic texts and figures. This study provides us with a complete knowledge of several and important issues such as the relevance of Islamic jurisprudence as an historical source, the structure of economic property, the idea of charity, the Islamic concept of general or common interest and the social and juridical role of men of religion.
