King of Castile and Leon Alfonso X the Wise (1252-1284) was an outstanding political figure of his time, a king-thinker, king-writer, king-troubadour, king-knight, whose Castilian "renaissance of the 13th century" laid the foundations of the modern Spanish language and Spanish culture of the Golden Age.
Deeply and seriously reflecting on the past of Spain, the Wise King was the first to comprehend the political space of the contemporary kingdoms of Leon and Castile, the lands of the Crown of Aragon, Navarre, Portugal and Muslim Granada as a political and cultural unity with a common historical destiny, which largely predetermined the future unification of the Spanish lands into a single state.
The monograph, written with the participation of prominent medievalist historians from Russia, Spain, Argentina, Brazil, Great Britain and some other countries, reflects the current state of research into the contribution of Alfonso X to the formation of the foundations of Spanish and European culture. For scientists (historians, philologists, philosophers, political scientists), teachers.
