]]> During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, absenteeism from university chairs was a frequent phenomenon in Spanish universities. This abandonment can be explained through several causes, such as the consideration of the professorship as a temporary occupation in the face of better opportunities, low salaries or the obligation to carry out tedious administrative tasks. This resource analyses this phenomenon, focusing on the University of Salamanca during the first half of the seventeenth century.
The fines can be seen mainly in the regency professorships, also called cursatorias. The fact is that the professorships were a compulsory step towards promotion, while the regency professorships were mainly for the purpose of retirement. Particularly noteworthy in this respect were the fines for the Law and Logic-Philosophy faculties, which amounted to more than 300 lessons per year.

]]> The modern age was no stranger to social conflicts. The author systematises 800 lawsuits of civil and ecclesiastical justice in the kingdom of Navarre from 1512 to 1808. Most of the offenders were young men (48%) and the victims were usually the local authorities (43%). Although the offences were no more than minor incidents, the courts of justice deployed a large number of punishments and few acquittals (7%). As the author notes, the civil and ecclesiastical courts opted for different sentences, both in their categories and in their degree of implementation. Starting with the civil court, 49% of the offenders were banished, while 22% were sentenced to a pecuniary sanction. 7% of the sentences were imposed with a pecuniary sanction. Seven percent of the sentences imposed the payment of court costs, and only 5% were sentenced to imprisonment. The remaining sanctions were divided between those who were forced to serve in the army (4%), to serve in the galleys (3%), and death sentences and public vengeance (1% for both cases). On the other hand, the ecclesiastical courts were more lenient in their penalties. Thus, the first group of penalties included the payment of a financial fine (40%). Banishment, favoured in the ordinary courts, did not exceed 10% of the total. Reprimands and imprisonment completed the sanctions with 30% and 20% respectively.
