Alfonso X (1221-84) ruled over the Crown of Castile from 1252 until his death. Known as "the Wise, " he oversaw the production of a wealth of literature, one of the most impressive of which is the collection of songs known as the Cantigas de Santa Maria. This book offers a new perspective to the song collection, probing how the Cantigas use their music and text, together with rhetorical devices, to communicate with their desired audience.
