abstract

  • Jose Maria Ots Capdequi was one of the six founders of the Anuario de Historia del Derecho Espanol; A specialist in Derecho indiano with an Americanist vocation that he maintained throughout his career. He carried out a continuous analysis of Colonial institutions, offering a first rigorous synthesis of this subject. The study of the articles published between 1924 and 1935, of the reviews of the publications of other authors with whom he maintained a constant and respectful dialogue, and of the news about the initiatives promoted by the group that gathered around the Anuario, in an historical moment of effervescence and exceptional public relevance of the cultivators of this discipline in Spain, offers a panorama of great interest for legal historiography.
