The Cantigas de Santa Maria is a vast collection of over 400
pieces, with texts in the Galician language, ascribed to King
Alfonso the Wise (c. 1284). While most of the cantigas narrate
miracles of the Virgin Mary, the corpus is carefully structured, so
that every tenth piece is a song in her praise. This new edition
has been prepared with both scholars and performers in mind. The
texts have been newly prepared in a regularized spelling, with a
parallel English version for those who seek a word-by-word
understanding of the original. An introductory chapter, and notes
on the individual texts, provide a context for a fuller
understanding.
