This cultural borrowing from the Arab culture enjoyed the strong patronage of Alfonso X of Castile (1221–1284), who commissioned translations of major works into the Latin and the Castilian Spanish of the time. This led to the first Spanish translation of the Qur'an, and of such influential works as "Kalilah and Dimnah", "Libro de los Engannos e Asayamientos de las Mugeres" ("Book of the Deceits and Lies of Women"), the "Escala de Mahomá" ("The Ascension of Mohammed") and "Los juegos del ajedrez" ("The Games of Chess").
