Toledo School of Translators - Aftermath

Aftermath

Unfortunately, after Alfonso's death, Sancho IV of Castile, his self-appointed successor, dismantled most of the team of translators, and soon most of its members transferred their efforts to other activities under new patronages, many of them leaving the city of Toledo.

Recently promoted by the University of Castilla-La Mancha, a new School of Translators has been established in Toledo. The new school has launched various translation programs for the translation of texts ranging from the rich legacy of classic writings to the contemporary works of Arabic civilization and aims at establishing a network of translation centers along the Mediterranean basin.
