 Sample Chapter for Villaseñor Black, C.: Creating the Cult of St. Joseph: Art and Gender in the Spanish Empire.
In Spain, St. Joseph became a national icon and emblem of masculine authority in a society plagued by crisis and social disorder.
Documents from several archives in Spain and Mexico--including royal decrees, papal briefs, chronicles, various manuscripts, and the records of guilds, confraternities, convents, and churches, plus city and ecclesiastical councils--describe the celebration of Joseph's cult and the role of the visual arts in it.
The promotion of St. Joseph's cult thus cannot be ascribed solely to a particular religious order, the Spanish monarchy, or a particular patron, although social welfare organizations such as hospitals, charitable confraternities, and orphanages, as well as artisanal guilds, seem to have been particularly interested in Josephine imagery.

 Reconquest and Crusade in Medieval Spain | O'Callaghan, Joseph F.
Drawing from both Christian and Islamic sources, Reconquest and Crusade in Medieval Spain demonstrates that the clash of arms between Christians and Muslims in the Iberian peninsula that began in the early eighth century was transformed into a crusade by the papacy during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries.
Joseph F. O'Callaghan clearly demonstrates that any study of the history of the crusades must take a broader view of the Mediterranean to include medieval Spain.
Following a chronological overview of crusading in the Iberian peninsula from the late eleventh to the middle of the thirteenth century, O'Callaghan proceeds to the study of warfare, military finance, and the liturgy of reconquest and crusading.
