Snow 1977, no. 265: "Pages 84-9 (Spanish version) treat Alfonso briefly asrn"poeta y trovador". Contained therein is the curious theory about a rival Marian collection in Arabic which may have encouraged writing of the CSM. The principal value of the remarks is that of refocussing interest onto the psychological role of the CSM in the career, comportment, and artistic values of a poet who also happened to be a ruling monarch." |
