    • Abstract:
      En el presente trabajo se ofrece, hasta donde nos consta, la única traducción al español del capítulo "Sobre el ajedrez" de la obra enciclopédica De naturis rerum escrita hacia el año 1190 por el filósofo inglés Alejandro Neckam (1157-1217). El capítulo mencionado, que sigue a otro sobre los jugadores de dados, es relevante no solamente para comprender la continuidad de una actitud anti-lúdica que hunde sus raíces en el pensamiento de los primeros cristianos sino para advertir la recepción del ajedrez musulmán en la Inglaterra medieval cristiana tanto en sus representaciones simbólicas como en las reglas del juego.

    • Abstract:
      This paper offers, to the best of our knowledge, the only translation into spanish of the chapter "On Chess" of the encyclopedic work De naturis rerum written around 1190 by the english philosopher Alexander Neckam (1157-1217). The mentioned chapter, which follows another one on dice players, is relevant not only to understand the continuity of an anti-ludic attitude that has its roots in the thought of the first Christians, but also to notice the reception of muslim chess in christian medieval England both in its symbolic representations and in the rules of the game.
