Notes from Snow 1977, no. 246rn"For the non specialist mainly. Brief resumés are given for CSM 141, 107, 258, 241, 18 and 128, all with folkloric content. One assumption, on p. 27, that the audience for Alfonso's Galician songs was unquestionably erudite, needs modification. There is also the suggestion that the comprehension of Galician-Portuguese in Alfonso's Castile was not very extensive beyond "men of letters", and this opinion clearly needs further documentation before it can be adopted." |
