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.Studies in the history of Christian traditions ;146.Alfonso 10, the LearnedAlfonso the Tenth, the LearnedCastile (Spain)HistoryAlfonso X, 1252-1284Castile (Spain)Kings and rulersBiography946/.02092BMartínez H.
