    Felipe Godínez y el drama histórico: “Ludovico el Piadoso” (1613)
    (2018-07-20) Florit Durán, Francisco de Asís
    En 1613 se representa en la ciudad de Sevilla la pieza teatral de Felipe Godínez, dramaturgo de origen judeoconverso, titulada Ludovico el Piadoso. Aunque el escritor no ha sido todavía procesado y penitenciado por el Santo Oficio, esto ocurrirá en 1624, en esta obra el dramaturgo imparte al espectador de su época una lección doctrinal fácilmente asimilable: la creencia firme en un Dios misericordioso que perdona, y la necesidad de que esa creencia sea asumida por los gobernantes.

    Rimado y romance de la justicia (siglos XIV-XV)
    (Institución Fernando el Católico, 2025) Álvarez Cora, Enrique; Historia Jurídica y de Ciencias Penales y Criminológicas; Facultad de Derecho
    Especially in the Rimado de Palacio by Pero López de Ayala, as well as in other examples of late medieval Castilian poetry, there is a cultured interpretation of a network of fundamental juridical concepts (such as justice, mercy, grace and law), organized around divine and human justice, in which the late medieval diffusion of scholasticism and common law can be seen, and to which a perspective of social criticism is added through a reflection that covers the deontology and pathology of both the public offices and in general the social and political function of jurists, thus elaborating a literary composition with full legal and theological knowledge that moves away in its content from the popular vestiges of an early medieval vindictive or self-defense justice.

    Shakespeare and Mercy at the Vatican, 2016
    (Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2020) Cerezo Moreno, Marta
    This article explores a central chapter in the history of the Catholic reception of Shakespeare‟s work during the contemporary age: the Catholic readings in 2016 of Shakespeare‟s dramatic presentation of mercy in the context of the celebrations of the400thanniversary of Shakespeare‟s death and the Holy Year of Mercy. This study directs its focus first to Catholic public manifestations on mercy −such as printed volumes, articles and cycles of lectures− which incorporated Shakespeare‟s reflections on mercy within their religious debate. Second, it studies how the Globe to Globe Hamletperformance at the Holy See on 13 April 2016 triggered the interpretation within the Vatican context of Hamletas a play which, despite its focus on revenge and crime, opens up glimpses of mercy that allow a redefinition of justice
