A bibliography of the article "Alfonso X en Cádiz. Visión constitucional de un monarca del Medievo (I)," by Faustino Martínez Martínez, is presented.

The article examines the shift from the spoken to the written word in Medieval jurisprudence through a comparative analysis of the first written compilation of Saxon laws, the Saxon Mirror (Sachsenspiegel) developed by Eike Von Repgow between 1220 and 1230, and the law of King Alfonso X of Castile. It notes that the Saxon Mirror, which created a common legal language for the entire Germanic region, covers various areas of the law, including property, family, and criminal law. The article characterizes Alfonso X as a wise and progressive king who considered it his duty to transfer knowledge, including the law, to his subjects through the written word. It describes several of Alfonso X's legal works, including "Espéculo," "Partidas," and "Fuero Real."
