"The Supernatural in Early Spanish Literature" by Frank Callcott is a scholarly study that explores the beliefs and superstitions related to the supernatural as reflected in the works of Alfonso X, El Sabio, written in the early 20th century. The book aims to delve into the attitudes of the Spanish people during the medieval period towards supernatural phenomena, offering insights into a rich cultural and literary heritage. The beginning of the textoutlines the author's intent to analyze how supernatural beliefs are represented in literature from the court of Alfonso X, explaining that the works of this monarch serve as a key to understanding the broader context of early Spanish culture. It describes Alfonso's court as a vibrant intellectual hub that integrated various cultural influences, and sets the stage for a more in-depth exploration of how these elements manifest in the narratives, particularly focusing on miracles associated with the Virgin Mary and their significance to the people of that time. The introductory sections hint at a complex interplay of faith, folklore, and the natural world that invites readers to consider the historical context of supernatural beliefs in medieval Spain.
