An illustrated 13th-century treatise commissioned by Alfonso X the Wise, synthesizing knowledge on chess, dice, and backgammon. Its relevance lies in being one of the earliest documentary sources classifying these games by nature (skill or chance) and its value as a historical document on the ludic culture of the Castilian court.
