The Alfonsine Tables of Toledo is for historians working in the
fields of astronomy, science, the Middle Ages, Spanish and other
Romance languages. It is also 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 Alfonsine Tables of Toledo is unique in that it: 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 new material on the diffusion of Alfonsine
astronomy in Europe; describes the role of royal patronage of
science in a medieval context.
