The hundreds of illuminated miniatures found in the Cantigas de
Santa Maria, sponsored by King Alfonso X (1252--84), reveal many
vistas of daily life in thirteenth century Spain.
No other source provides such an encyclopedic view of all
classes of medieval European society, from kings and popes to the
lowest peasants. Men and women are seen farming, hunting, on
pilgrimage, watching bullfights, in gambling dens, making love,
tending silkworms, eating, cooking, and writing poetry, to name
only a few of the human activities represented here.
Combining keen observation of detail with years of experience in
the field, John Keller and Annette Grant Cash bring to life a world
previously little explored.
