In matters of periodicals, the irony of Eugenio D'Ors, according to which "everything that is not tradition is plagiarism,” is particularly strong. The (relative) truth behind that (absolute) irony forces us to respectfully assume the direction of a journal like this one, which is already in its fourth decade. Hence there are no claims of a new founding or launching; only the will to maintain the values of a journal with genuine tradition, introducing the innovations that the circumstances advise. Finally, we note that the situation placed this as the first issue after September 11, 2001. The sad events of that day have already installed, worldwide, the debate on its greater or lesser degree of historicity. Therefore, we have deemed it necessary to reflect that moment in the papers requested.
