Abstract
Anton de Montoro's works are compiled and analyzed in this critical edition. The poems are transcribed from: Ms. 4114 Cancionero de Pedro Guillen, Biblioteca Nacional, Madrid; Ms. 617 Cancionero de poesias varias, Biblioteca de Palacio Real, Madrid; Ms. 83-5, Biblioteca Colombina, Sevilla; Ms. 939, Egerton, British Library, London; Ms. 1098, Cancionero de Roma, Biblioteca Casanatense, Rome; Ms. 233, Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris; Ms. 2763 Cancionero antiguo, Biblioteca Universitaria, Salamanca; Ms. 33 Cancionero San Martino delle Scale, Palermo; Ms. FMS Span 97 Cancionero Onate Castaneda, Houghton Library, Harvard University and the 1511 Cancionero general. These manuscripts are described in the introduction. Variants are supplied, and lexical, syntactical and rhetorical information incorporated as footnotes. Each poem is preceded by an analysis of its versification and structure, and by its sociohistorical background.;Anton de Montoro (1404?-1477?), was also known as El Ropero de Cordoba. A converso who entered the literary milieu, he was the only poet to openly defend the conversos from persecution. In the introduction, Montoro's works are analyzed with respect to the two main discourses of the late Middle Ages: the festival and the carnival. The poems are also discussed within the cancionero poetry conceptism, and use of ornament and irreverent hyperbole. Montoro's language, characteristic of the XV century linguistic revolution, is also reviewed. Certain neologisms and latinisms predate etymological dictionaries' earliest references. In addition, one finds a vast number of familiar expressions which were not to be used by any other Spanish authors until the Golden Age.
