Notes from Snow 1977, no. 231: "The most thorough survey of the topic since Solalinde's (1915). The author establishes, through texts of translations and compilations, the periods of greatest activity and the organization of Alfonso's writing teams. A complete list of names of collaborators, based on all existing reports and docs, is furnished. The general remarks on the CSM seem tentative but the illuminations of Alfonso, captured in the characteristic attitude of dictating to his scribal teams, are believed to have documental force (given the corroborating textual evidence)." |
