Introduction

Abstract

Specula is a scientific journal linked to the IVEMIR Research Institute (Institut Isabel de Villena d’Estudis Medievals i Renaixentistes) of the UCV. The title of the journal, Specula, refers to the medieval idea that creation is a mirror reflection of the work of God. Many works of medieval literature, such as Speculum Humanae Salvationis, Speculum naturale, Speculum morale, Speculum historiale, Speculum doctrinale, which also inspired the Valencian work Spill by Jaume Roig, all describe an ordered vision of a world made in the image of God; these are moralizing, didactic, sapiential and encyclopedic works that are inherently disciplinary. In all of these, the purpose is to teach and instruct the recipient, and there is space for content that is historical, philosophical, theological, literary, medical, scientific, etc. It is the idea of an interdisciplinary search for knowledge, connoted by the term Specula, that the magazine is understood and will be published every four months in paper and electronic format.
