Snow 2007: "A brief but interesting survey of some points of musical interest: the instruments shown in the miniatures of J.b.2; the popular melodies used to further the acceptance of the CSM among the unlettered; the interest of Alfonso in furthering thee teaching of music (Salamanca chair in music established in 1254); and the interests of two of Alfonso's contemporaries (Gil de Zamora, Ramón Llull) in the realm of music theory. Raises good issues, but does little more." |
