EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases page 47 of the Canconer Gil, a remarkable songbook from the mid-14th century. The page brings together timeless poems by classic troubadours of the 12th and early 13th centuries, offering a glimpse into the rich literary tradition of that era. The highlighted poem on this page is "Bona dona un consell vos deman" (Good woman, I ask you for advice), composed by Raimbaut d'Aurenga, a renowned Provencal troubadour who lived from 1147 to 1173. The image captures not only the beauty of Raimbaut's poetry but also the exquisite craftsmanship and artistry present in medieval manuscripts. The vibrant colors and intricate decorations adorning this folio demonstrate the meticulousness with which it was created. This particular songbook is written in Catalan and Occitan languages, reflecting its origins in Barcelona, Catalonia. Preserved within the Library of Catalonia, this manuscript serves as an invaluable historical artifact that sheds light on courtly love and musical traditions prevalent during that time period. Its significance extends beyond literature; it offers insights into Western history and culture. Thanks to photographer Santiago Ortega's skillful capture, we can now appreciate both the visual allure and intellectual depth contained within this single page of poetic brilliance.
