A video showing the insides of the Alfonso X manuscript facsimile. Only several pages are viewed as the total pages in the manuscript amounts to 98 pages.

In 1283 Libros del Axedrez dados y tablas (Book of Chess and other games) was written for King Alfonso X (1221-1284), King of Castile. It was the first encyclopeida of games in European literature. The first of the 7 parts of the Alfonso manuscript is devoted wholly to chess, and contains 103 problems. It also includes descriptions of several chess variants. (Source: Bill Wall)
