Snow 1977, no. 75: "Alfonso established this Order in 1272 "a servicio de Dios e a loor de la virgen sancta Maria su madre". It was powerful for about ten years (corresponding to the latter additions to the CSM) and helps document Alfonso's devotion, in life as well as in literature, to the Virgin. The article relies on the MS of Pérez Villamil's Academy speech (1806)." |
