The hundreds of illuminated miniatures found in the CANTIGAS DE SANTA MARIA, sponsored by King Alfonso X (1252-84), reveal many vistas of daily life at all levels of society, in 13th-century Spain. Combining keen observation of detail with years of experience in the field of medieval studies, John Keller and Annette Grant Cash bring to life a little-known world. 70 color photos.
