Industry Reviews
Alfonso X of Castile-Le 'o n (1252-1284), known to history as el Sabio , probably had no intellectual equal among his contemporaries. A scholar and a poet, he surrounded himself with artists and learned men whom he directed in a cultural enterprise that produced an exceptional number of literary, legal, historical, and scientific works not to be found anywhere else in 13th-century Europe. This history of the reign of Alfonso X combines chronological and topical approaches to objectively reassess the reign in the light of the considerable body of scholarship developed in the 20th century.
