Josep Serrano, lecturer at the Faculty of Law and Humanities of UIC Barcelona, coordinated the recently published work Historical Laws of Catalonia, edited by the publisher of the Official State Gazette. The lawyer directed the project that collects the most important texts on the institutional history of Catalonia from its origins to the twentieth century. 

In addition, Serrano is the author of the introductory study of the work, included in the first volume. “The objective of this project,” explains the lecturer, is to have a relationship of the history of law and the institutions of Catalonia from the creation of the County of Barcelona, following its independence and conversion into the Principality of Catalonia, until the twentieth century at the end of the reign of Alfonso XIII.”

The other three volumes of the work transcribe up to a total of 234 documents from the history of Catalan law, from 780 to 1930. The documents have been transcribed by a team formed by Serrano himself along with the following experts; Xavier Baró from UIC Barcelona; Cristian Palomo and Guillem Fornés from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona; Pau Alcover from the University of the Balearic Islands and Miquel Fuertes from the Universitat de València.
