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. 410 0$aStudies in the history of Christian traditions ;$v146. 517 3 $aAlfonso 10, the Learned 517 3 $aAlfonso the Tenth, the Learned 607 $aCastile (Spain)$xHistory$yAlfonso X, 1252-1284 607 $aCastile (Spain)$xKings and rulers$vBiography 676 $a946/.02092 676 $aB 700 $aMarti?nez$b H.
