Abstract

Alfonso X (1221--1284) reigned as king of Castile and León from 1252 until his death. Known to history as El Sabio, the Wise, or the Learned, his appreciation for science and the arts led him to sponsor a number of books on the history of Spain since its Roman settlement. Among them were the Cantigas de Santa Maria, a collection of over four hundred poems exalting his favorite patron saint, Mary, and chronicles of all the kings of Castile and León, Navarre, Aragón, and Portugal.Alfonso X died before his own life could be written. His was a reign fraught with political intrigue and double cros

Abstract

This book covers the criticism of the religious and the profane poetry of Alfonso X. It treats his poetry in its complete scope, the religious (the ‘Cantigas de Santa Maria’) as well as the forty-five profane poems, mostly satires. It does so in a chronological sequence from the earliest commentary in 1278 to the most recent criticism in 2010. The work contains five times as many entries as the original 1977 edition, including an introduction, two appendices with the profane poems and the poems treated in the items in the bibliography, and an author and subject index. Joseph T. Snow is Professor Emeritus, Michigan State University.

Abstract

En la segunda mitad del siglo xiii se concibe en torno a Alfonso X un nuevo arte de historiar. Nutrido por un conocimiento exhaustivo de las tradiciones historiográficas con incidencias culturales en el Occidente medieval, está tan eficazmente adaptado al ideal monárquico que, a pesar de los profundos disturbios con los que se enfrentará la realeza castellana, el modelo alfonsí seguirá rigiendo la técnica de los historiadores y configurando la visión histórica de las élites españolas hasta finales de la Edad Media y más allá. Este volumen recoge las actas de un seminario coordinado por Georges Martin en la Casa de Velázquez en 1995. En él se pretende caracterizar dicho modelo y seguir sus cambios y permanencias desde su fundación hasta los sumarios del siglo xv, pasando por las distintas versiones de las obras patrocinadas por el Rey Sabio (concisa, enmendada después de 1274 y crítica), la historiografía neoalfonsina de finales del xiii(versión sanchina toledana de la Estoria de España y Crónica de Castilla) así como las continuaciones de Fernán Sánchez de Valladolid y del Canciller Ayala.

Abstract

Recent publications about King Alfonso X have tended to focus on his role as monarch in the context of the institutions of the realm. This book, however, emphasizes the human dimension of this extraordinary figure. Drawing on King Alfonso’s own works and on extensive archival sources, both well-known and neglected, Salvador Martínez brings to life a king who valued the possession of knowledge above all earthly riches. The 'Learned King' left a vast legacy of work, which would influence developments in both Spain and Europe, most significantly in the transfer of knowledge from the Arabs to the Christian West. With his intellectual curiosity and his pursuit of wisdom, Alfonso X is a towering figure at the origins of modernity.

Abstract

Alfonso X 'the Learned' of Castile (1252-1284) was praised in his lifetime as a king who devoted himself to discovering all worldly and divine knowledge. He commissioned chronicles and law codes and composed poems to the Virgin Mary, he gathered together Jewish scholars to translate works of Arab astrology and astronomy, and he founded a university of Latin and Arabic studies at Seville. Moreover, according to his nephew Juan Manuel, Alfonso was careful to ensure that 'he had leisure to look into things he wanted for himself'. The level of his personal involvement in this literary activity marks him out as an exceptional patron in any period. However, Alfonso's relationship with the arts also had much in common with that of other thirteenth-century European royal patrons, among them his first cousin, Louis IX of France. Like his contemporaries, he relentlessly used literary works as a vehicle to promote his royal status and advance his claim to the imperial crown. His motivation for the foundation of the university at Seville was arguably political rather than educational, and instead of promoting institutional learning during his reign, Alfonso preferred to direct the messages about his kingship in the lavish manuscripts he patronized to a restricted, courtly audience. Yet such was the interest of the works he commissioned, that those who could obtain copies did so, even if these were still incomplete drafts. Three codices traditionally held to have been copied for Alfonso in fact show how this learning reserved for the few began to filter out beyond the Learned King's immediate circle.
