Prof. Luis Cortest of the Spanish Department will be exploring the story of King Alfonso X of Castile (1252-84), who ruled a court that mingled Christians, Jews, and Muslims in a joint culture of scientific inquiry and artistic creation. Alfonso himself was an author, a lawmaker, and an astrologer—remembered among other reasons as the creator of the beautiful Cantigas [Songs] of Santa Maria and as the dedicatee of the Moon’s Alphonsus Crater.
The Medieval Fair Free Lecture Series is cosponsored by the Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies University of Oklahoma.
