Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of Spain, Vol. 2 of 2: From the Earliest Times to the Death, of Ferdinand the Catholic
But with John II. A new era was opened in Castile. The temper of the king, unlike that of his great predecessor, was literary rather than scientific, pedantic rather than scholarly, formal rather than substantial, graceful rather than profound. The new in?uence came rather from Italy than from Andalusia. Aragon, the refuge and the home of the Provencal troubadours in the thirteenth century, had stretched out her hands in the fourteenth century to Sicily, and in the fifteenth century to Naples 2 and long before the time of Ferdinand the Catholic.
