The second half of the 13th century, a period in which Alfonso X worked politically and culturally, represents the moment of greatest flowering of the Marian miracles in the European space. The collections of Marian miracles available at the time are both the product of a tradition of universally recognized works that narrate prodigious facts permitted by the mediation of the Virgin Mary, and the result of new additions to more traditional themes. Furthermore, the collections transmitted in Latin are joined by other collections in vernacular language originating not only from the pen of the new clerics or monks, but also from those of lay devotees, thus assuming completely new aspects and purposes. This contribution aims to offer a reasoned overview of these collections – both local and internationally distributed – accessible at least at the time of the sovereign Alfonso X, known as «The Wise».
