Cancioneiro da Vaticana

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cancioneiro da Vaticana (Vatican Songbook) is a compilation of troubadour lyrics in Galician-Portuguese language located in the Vatican Library.

The songbook contains 228 folios with a total of 1205 lyrics that date from the 13th and 14th centuries. The poems belong to the three typical genres of secular cantigas: the cantigas de amigo, cantigas de amor and cantigas de escárnio e maldizer. Even though the texts were meant to be sung, musical notation of the lyrics is missing.

The Cancioneiro da Vaticana, together with the Cancioneiro da Biblioteca Nacional (kept in Lisbon), were compiled from earlier manuscripts in the early 16th century by the order of Italian humanist Angelo Colocci. The texts of the two songbooks overlap almost completely.
