This volume reflects on the motivations underpinning the writing of
history in Late Antique Iberia, emphasising its theoretical and
practical aspects and outlining the social, political and
ideological implications of the constructions and narrations of the
past. The volume includes general topics related to the writing of
history, such as the historiographical debates on writing history,
the praxis of history writing and the role of central and local
powers in the construction of the past, the legitimacy of history,
the exaltation of Christian history to the detriment of other
religious beliefs, and the perception of time in hagiographical
texts. Further points of interest in the volume are the specific
studies on the historiographical culture. All these issues are
analysed from an innovative perspective, which combines traditional
subjects with new historiographical topics, such as the
configuration of historical discourse through another type of
documentation like councils, hagiography or legislation.
