Description

"The Alfonsine Tables of Toledo" is for historians working in the fields of astronomy, science, the Middle Ages, Spanish and other Romance languages. It should also be of interest to scholars interested in the history of Castile, in Castilian-French relations in the Middle Ages and in the history of patronage. It explores the Castilian canons of the Alfonsine Tables and offers a study of their context, language, astronomical content and diffusion. The book includes an edition of a crucial text in history of science; provides an explanation of astronomy as it was practiced in the Middle Ages; presents abundant material on early scientific language in Castilian; presents material on the diffusion of Alfonsine astronomy in Europe; and describes the role of royal patronage of science in a medieval context.
