The Toledo School of Translators was originally located in a mosque that was apprehended by Alfonso VI in 1085. Translators made use of the numerous Arabic manuscripts kept here. Pictured is the Cathedral of Toledo, which would become the location of the school during the 13th century.[1][2]
John of Seville (Latin: Johannes Hispalensis or Johannes Hispaniensis) (fl. 1133-53) was one of the main translators from Arabic into Castilian in partnership with Dominicus Gundissalinus during the early days of the Toledo School of Translators. John of Seville translated a litany of Arabic astrological works in addition to being credited with the production of several original works in Latin.[3][4]
