El Opus Dei en Estados Unidos (1949-1957). Cronología, geografía, demografía y dimensiones institucionales de unos inicios, Federico M. Requena (pp. 13-93)
Between February 1949 and the fall of 1957, Opus Dei in the United States went from a small group of five pioneers, based in Chicago, to one hundred and fifty members with centers in six cities in the Midwest and on the East Coast. This article focuses on the apostolic work of the men of Opus Dei and endeavors to establish the timeline, geography, and the demographics of this period. The article also seeks to address some of the institutional dimensions of these beginnings. Three stages are observed: the beginnings (1949-1953), the first maturity (1953-1955), and the growth that gave way to the division into two Regions (1955-1957).

El centro de la Carrera cuarta. El primer centro del Opus Dei en Colombia (1952-1953), Manuel Pareja (pp. 95-126)
On October 13th, 1951, Teodoro Ruiz Jusué traveled to Bogota. He had been sent by Josemaría Escrivá in response to requests from the Papal Nuncio as well as the archbishop of the capital of Colombia for the presence of Opus Dei in that country. Some months later, on February 17th, 1952, a second member, Aurelio Mota, arrived; on that day, the first center of Opus Dei in Colombia came into being. The article focuses above all on collecting in detail the difficulties encountered and the various measures taken to obtain these premises, which would allow them to develop their apostolic activities more widely and with greater dedication.

A documentary account of some aspects of the beginnings of Opus Dei in Ireland, up to the establishment of its first corporate apostolate, Nullamore University Residence, Dublin. The article covers the years 1947 to 1954 and outlines the life and apostolate of the members of Opus Dei during the period, the first joint annual formational courses between England and Ireland, as well as the first women members (the ‘Miracle of Ireland’). The resolution of some ecclesiastical and parental misapprehensions in Dublin is dealt with in some depth. Initial progress and then disappointment with developments in Cork, as well as preparations for the first English edition of The Way published in Cork, are dealt with. Other topics include apostolic visits to Galway, devotion to Isidoro Zorzano, the search for and setting up of a Residence and the official opening of Nullamore. The primary sources are written accounts of the period, diaries of centres, documents from the archives of the Prelature and some secondary works, which provide historical and cultural contexts.

José Orlandis (1918-2010): biographie et historiographie, Martin Aurell (pp. 325-360)
The historian José Orlandis (1918-2010) joined Opus Dei in 1939 and was ordained a priest ten years later. He was involved in the Spanish Civil War and he lived in Rome during the Second World War, where he was able to assist with the recognition of Opus Dei by the Holy See. Throughout his life he was in constant contact, particularly by letter, with Josemaría Escrivá. He was professor of History of Law at the Universities of Saragossa and Navarre; he is author of important work on Visigothic Spain that was well received by his medievalist colleagues, such as Claudio Sánchez-Albornoz, with whom he maintained an ongoing correspondence. He also wrote several books on the history of the Church, including recent history, as well as on spirituality, in harmony with his pastoral tasks. Likewise he wrote his memoirs. From the historiographic point of view, his work fluctuates between positivism and phenomenology depending on his audience, which could consist of specialists or be made up of a much wider group.
