O'Callaghan argues that Alfonso X, el Sabio (the Wise), was the Justinian of his age, one of the truly great legal minds of human history.Alfonso X, the Justinian of His Age highlights the struggles the king faced in creating a new, coherent, inclusive, and all-embracing body of law during his reign, O'Callaghan also considers Alfonso X's own understanding of his role as king, lawgiver, and defender of the faith in order to evaluate the impact of his achievement on the administration of justice. Indeed, such was the power and authority of the Alfonsine code that it proved the king's downfall when his son invoked it to challenge his rule. Throughout this soaring legal and historical biography, O'Callaghan reminds us of the long-term impacts of Alfonso X's legal works, not just on Castilian (and later, Iberian) life, but on the administration of justice across the world. 606 $aLaw, Medieval 606 $aLaw$zSpain$zCastile$xHistory$yTo 1500 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aAlfonso X, el Sabio, Spain, Iberia, religion, law and justice, Siete Partidas, Especulo, Fuero real, kingship, Christians, Jews, Muslims, Premio del Rey, enactments of Cortes, king of Castile-Leon, Libro de las Leyes, municipal law, Holy oOman Emperor-elect, Emperor Justinian. 615 0$aLaw, Medieval. 615 0$aLaw$xHistory 676 $a349.46/309022 700 $aO'Callaghan$b Joseph F., $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0161955 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827806403321 996 $aAlfonso X, the Justinian of His Age$93991727 997 $aUNINA
