SUMMARY:“Christian Hermetism in Medieval Spain: Alfonso X’s Setenario”
DESCRIPTION:\nScholars have traditionally assumed that Christian Hermeti
sm emerged when renaissance figures like Pico della Mirandola and Giorda
no Bruno harmonized the wisdom of the legendary sage Hermes Trismegistus
with Christian doctrine and classical philosophy. However\, I suggest t
hat an earlier effort was made by the Castilian king Alfonso X\, known a
s “the Learned\,” in the thirteenth century. From the start of his rule\
, Alfonso supported the translation and organization of classical\, Arab
ic\, and Jewish traditions in a secular manner\, with a focus on astrolo
gy and magic. At the end of his life\, Alfonso faced accusations of here
sy from the Church and his rebellious son. These conflicts forced him to
defend himself in a complex and unfinished work: the Setenario.\n\nFor
