Virgen's Miracle 4. Escarnio and maldezir: They were songs used to wish evil directly to any enemy or thing, with profority and vulgar language.

THE CANTIGAS

In Spain, music of troubadours was represented by the CANTIGAS DE SANTA MARIA.

These are 417 songs written in Galician-Portuguese and dedicated to the Virgin Mary They were gathered at the court of King ALFONSO X THE WISE (1252-1284), who could have contributed as an author..

The manuscripts have survived in four codices: two at El Escorial, one at Madrid's National Library, and one in Florence, Italy. Some have colored miniatures showing pairs of musicians playing a wide variety of instruments.

So much I love So much I love joy and love and song, mirth, sport and courtesy, that in the world there is no wealth nor riches that could make me feel happier. Therefore I know well that my lady holds the keys of all the good that I expect and hope for, and none of this can I have without her. Her great courage and her modest look, her gentle speech and her fair company have made me always love her dominion more than any other's I have seen before or since; and if her loving and tender heart deigns not to keep me under her mercy, love cannot please me with anything else.

As Berenguer de Palou did, many others trovadours like Raimbaut deVaqueiras, Bernart de Ventadorn, Adam de la Halle, etc. developed the courtly love conception.
