Everything about Cancioneiro Da Ajuda totally explained
The
Cancioneiro de Ajuda (
Ajuda Songbook) is a collection of poems written in the
Galician-Portuguese language and dating from the end of the 13th century. It is the oldest of the Galician-Portuguese
cancioneiros with secular music.
The Cancioneiro is kept in the library of the
Ajuda National Palace, a former royal residence located in Lisbon. It consists of a
parchment codex written in
Gothic letter by one hand and containing
illuminated miniatures. Both the text and the miniatures remained unfinished. The whole codex contains 310 poems, all of them

Carolina Michaëlis de Vasconcellos in 1904.
