About This Book

The essay examines the Vatican manuscript that preserves late medieval Portuguese lyric, recounting its rediscovery and urging a national scholarly response. It analyzes external and internal evidence to identify constituent songbooks and their relationships, investigates transmission and compilation practices, and compares courtly and popular poetic currents and formal elements such as lais and cantigas. It assesses linguistic features that mark the shift toward a written Portuguese, situates the repertoire in its social and historical milieu, and proposes steps for a critical edition, glossary, bibliography, and a literary history of the troubadour period.
