Title: | Tradición clásica y voluntad política en el Setenario de Alfonso X El Sabio | Authors: | López Rodríguez, Concepción | Keywords: | Tradición Clásica;Setenario;Alfonso X;Setenario;Astrología;Tolomeo;Classical Tradition;Alphonso X;Setenario;Astrology;Ptolemy | Issue Date: | 2009 | Publisher: | Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de Coimbra, Instituto de Estudos Clássicos | Abstract: | El rey castellano, Alfonso X el Sabio, compuso la obra del Setenario
siguiendo diversas tradiciones clásicas que otorgaban al numero siete un valor
simbólico; este valor proviene de muchos autores griegos y latinos; uno de ellos,
quizás el más importante, es Tolomeo. Pero Alfonso supo adaptar este símbolo a su
propia obra, dotándola de un contenido religioso y político; también hizo de este
número el emblema de su propio nombre: en castellano A-l-f-o-n-s-o tiene siete
letras. Estas letras, desde otra perspectiva, resumen su excelencia personal, pero,
sobre todo, su propósito final es esencialmente político: aspira a unificar su reino
que estaba disperso jurídicamente en leyes locales después de la Reconquista. Abstract The Castilian King, Alphonso X the Wise, wrote the Setenario following different classical traditions that have given to the seven number one symbolical meaning. This value comes from many Greek and Latin authors; one of them, perhaps the most important, is Ptolemy. But Alphonso found out how to fit perfectly that traditional symbol to his proper work providing it with a religious and political content; furthermore he made of this number the emblem of his proper name: in Spanish language, in fact, A-l-f-o-n-s-o has seven letters. On the other hand, these letters summarize his personal excellence. But, mainly, his final purpose is essentially political: he aims to unify his kingdom which was scattered into different local laws after the Reconquest |
