Alfonso X and the Cantigas De Santa Maria: a Poetic Biography (Medieval Mediterranean, Vol 16)
Joseph F. O'callaghan
In the Cantigas de Santa Maria, a collection of about four hundred poems written in Galician, Alfonso X, el Sabio, king of Castile-Leon, has left us a kind of poetic biography. This volume explicates the historical circumstances surrounding the stories that the king tells about himself and his kingdom. As Mary's troubadour, he appeals to her as his advocate and consoler.
