Early modern marginalia in the Cancioneiro da Ajuda

Journal article

The history of literary reception, within Galician-Portuguese scholarship, remains a relatively unexplored field, largely due to the scarcity of sources. On the other hand, codicological studies tend to privilege the original features of a given manuscript over later additions. The present article, instead, focuses on the late medieval and early-modern marginalia to be found in the thirteenth-century, Iberian manuscript, the Cancioneiro da Ajuda. It includes a comprehensive catalogue and edition of these notes, presented in a partially modernized spelling, accompanied by a short study. It is hoped that both will pave the way for future studies on literary reception that could make use of textual evidence available but so far little explored.
