Tables alphonsines

The tables alphonsines are of the astronomical tables composed by order of Alphonse X, king of Castille. They represent known stars and sights with the eye naked.

They were written by erudite Christian, Jewish and Arab astronomers, that it had joined together with Tolède and were corrected by the king himself. They appeared in 1252 and were printed with Venice in 1483.

The astronomer Florentin Paolo Toscanelli corrected them after measurements which it could make with Florence with the Gnomon that it built in the dome of Santa Maria del Fiore.
