Abstract:

This book offers the most comprehensive, up-to-date, multidisciplinary
approach to the work of Galician jongleur Martin Codax and the Vindel
Parchment. This medieval manuscript with the texts of seven cantigas de amigo
by Martin Codax and the music score of six of them, is a philological gem that
underwent numerous vicissitudes. The current volume comprises eighteen
chapters dealing in depth with Codax’s work and the Vindel Parchment from five
basic perspectives: literature; linguistics, codicology and ecdotics; music;
history and reception of the Vindel Parchment; and the historical background
of medieval Vigo (at the time still a small town where Codax’s cantigas de
amigo are set). Specialists from different disciplines and countries joined
forces in a effort to improve our understanding of Martin Codax and his lyric
poetry. The research included here tries to go beyond received knowledge in
the field by using new approaches and perspectives, delving deeper into areas
that had not been sufficiently studied, or by venturing into unexplored
territories. Many hypotheses are put forward, contributing to raising interest
in a fascinating, enigmatic author, in his extraordinary cantigas and in a
medieval parchment that is becoming less and less mysterious. The volume
contains contributions in English, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and Galician,
each accompanied by a summary in English.
