Over the past few decades, a growing number of studies have highlighted the importance of the ‘School of Salamanca’ for the emergence of colonial normative regimes and the formation of a language of normativity on a global scale. According to this influential account, American and Asian actors usually appear as passive recipients of normative knowledge produced in Europe. This book proposes a different perspective and shows, through a knowledge historical approach and several case studies, that the School of Salamanca has to be considered both an epistemic community and a community of practice that cannot be fixed to any individual place. Instead, the School of Salamanca encompassed a variety of different sites and actors throughout the world and thus represents a case of global knowledge production.

"Insgesamt stellen die beiden Sammelbände einen bedeutenden Beitrag nicht nur zur iberoamerikanischen Geschichte und zur Rechtsgeschichtedar. Wie mit Normen und ihrer Widersprüchlichkeit umgegangen wurde, wie Normen aus der Praxis heraus entstanden
und wiederum für die praktische Anwendung zur Verfügung gestellt wurden, diese Fragen besitzen in der gegenwärtigen Frühneuzeitforschung ein hohes Maß an Aktualität. Die Beiträge liefern hier eine Vielzahl wertvoller methodischer und inhaltlicher Erkenntnisse, die in dieser Besprechung nur ansatzweise dargelegt werden können." - Martin Biersack, in: Zeitschrift für Historische Forschung, Vol. 50, No.1 (2023), pp. 151-152
