Resellers Publications

In light of the commitment to historical research and heritage recovery, Resellers Publications was founded with the mission to publish the winning works of the Recerca Antic Gremi Revenedors of Barcelona Research Grant – which this year has already announced its third edition – and other works of interest related to the guilds and the history of Barcelona and Catalonia. Despite the professional brotherhoods (later guilds) being a fundamental part of our history, and despite the existence of a solid documentary base for research, they have not been sufficiently studied. The history that we do not write ourselves will be written by others.

RESEARCH GRANT COLLECTION

As the rules state, the winning works of the Antic Gremi Revenedors de Barcelona of Barcelona Research Grant are published with Legal Deposit and ISBN. Resellers Publications was created with this aim.

In 2022, we published the winning work of the first edition (2020): The guild and brotherhood of Saint Michael of the resellers of Barcelona between two centuries (XVI-XVII): Politics, economy, and society, by Laura Miquel Milian (University of Girona) and Pol Bridgewater Mateu (University of Barcelona).

You can read it online by requesting the access password at revenedors@revenedors.cat or buy a physical copy and support the research and dissemination of the guild history of Barcelona.

This year we have published the winning work of the second edition (2021): Guilds in arms in modern Barcelona (1640-1714). The Council of One Hundred, the Coronela, and the guild of resellers in defense of the city, by Víctor Jurado i Riba (University of Barcelona).

You can read an excerpt online or buy a physical copy and support the research and dissemination of the guild history of Barcelona.

DRAWER COLLECTION

In times (again) of great difficulties as a country and as a society, where the capacity for work, collective dynamism, and ambition will surely again be key to moving forward, our association believes that now is the ideal time to bring out of the drawers all those reflections and studies that have not been able to see the light on the world of the ancient guilds and, in general, about work in past times both in Barcelona and in our country.

With Honor, comerç i treball. Catalunya, Espanya i Europa (segles XVI-XIX) by Dr. Pere Molas i Ribalta we are launching a second collection of publications. You can now get a copy at our store.
