Carlos Paulo Martínez Pereiro’s new annotated edition of the cantigas of Fernan Paez de Tamalancos is the culmination of a careful process of restoration and analysis of the troubadour’s work.

Martínez Pereiro’s edition highlights the fresh, innovating force of Fernan Paez de Tamalancos’s poetry within the formal and thematic conventions of the Galician-Portuguese troubadour tradition. Harnessing the aesthetic power of the genre’s echoing repetitions and modulations, his songs resound with the uniqueness of things, the hopeful insistence of new love, the aggressive frustration of love’s end, and vituperative, ironic invective.
