1037 LAPIDARIO DEL REY D. ALFONSO X codice original [reproducido en foto-litografia, con prologo de José Fernandez Montaña]. Roy. 4to., an exact facsimile of the MS., 264 pp. with all the MINIATURES (of which there are some hundreds) reproduced in their proper colours; hf. red Madrid, 1881

MOROCCO

The original MS. is in the Escurial. It was translated into Castilian from
Arabic sources in the years 1276-1279, by order of Alfonso the Wise, and contains a
description of the virtues of Stones, of which 360 are treated. The writing and the
miniatures are beautiful examples of thirteenth century art of very high order; and the
text is a philological monument showing the Castilian language in its earliest polished
state. The MS. was in the sixteenth century in the possession of Diego de Mendoza,
and after his death came into the hands of Philip II, who put it in the Escurial. The
artistic reproduction was done by Don Antonio Selfa.

Priced by a Liverpool firm £10. A similar copy sold for £4. 10s at Puttick &
Simpson's Sale of July 12, 1900.
