- Title
LA PEQUEÑA EDAD DE HIELO EN GALICIA: ESTADO DE LA CUESTIÓN Y ESTUDIO HISTÓRICO.
- Authors
Fernández Cortizo, Camilo
- Abstract
Historical climatology is a discipline with little development in Galicia. In particular the studies on the Little Ice Age (PEH) are very few and lack continuity, unlike the dendroclimatic and geochemical and sedimentological studies on the Galician paleoclimate of the final Holocene, progressing in the last three decades. Its usefulness, greater or less depending on the cases, for the historians justifies its inclusion in the state of the matter together with the studies of historical climatology. To his list is added precisely the present work, which analyzes, using different documentary sources (rogation ceremonies, tithes, prices of the urban market, books of the dead and minutes of council), the climate and the time in the Late Maunder Minimal 1675-1715) and its possible impact on agricultural production and demographic crises, due to the fact that in the Compostela region it is also characterized by colder temperatures than today, by marked climatic variability and, finally, by a high prevalence of the rogation ceremonies «pro serenitate temporis».
