Snow 2007: "Treats of the homophonic confusion caused by the preposition per and the Latin intensifier or sign of completeness throughout the period of troubadouresque poetry in the Peninsula. Alfonsine works used as illustration include CSM 221, 6, 327, 267, and Lapa 17 ("Pero da Ponte, parou-se-vos mal"). The intensifier, associated especially with verb forms, is lost in the fourteenth century." |
