About this eBook
Neste volume estúdase un número significativo de cantigas galego-portuguesas medievais de escarnio e mal dizer nas que destaca a cuestión sexual. Edítanse, coméntanse e ofrécense paráfrases ao galego actual e a súa correspondente tradución ao inglés. Estes textos permiten unha aproximación a cuestións moi relevantes sobre a mentalidade das elites medievais peninsulares, como pode ser a da lexitimidade na transmisión da liñaxe. Ao mesmo tempo, exemplifican o xeito en que a diversión nas cortes medievais incluía a burla e a inversión do seu propio esquema de valores, así como tamén a esaxeración máis irreverente e grotesca.
This volume analyses a significant number of medieval Galician-Portuguese cantigas of derision which focus particularly on sexual matters. It features a textual commentary and also paraphrases the cantigas in contemporary Galician, while offering a corresponding English translation. These texts provide an insight into the mentality of the Iberian Peninsula’s medieval elites in the very relevant matters of legitimacy and transmission of lineage. They also illustrate how the concept of fun in medieval courts included mockery and the inversion of their own value system, as well as the most irreverent and grotesque exaggeration.
