[83] This poet, Fernam Gonçalvez de Seabra or Fernant Gonzalez de Sanabria (C. V. 338; C. C. B. 330-7; C. A. 210-21, 445-7), apparently obtained some fame by his mystification, unless the object of his devotion was as high-placed as the Portuguese princess for love of whom, according to legend, D. Joan Soarez de Paiva died in Galicia. The latter wrote in the first years of the thirteenth century (C. V. 937, _Randglosse_ xi). They are the only two Galician-Portuguese poets--besides King Dinis--mentioned in Santillana’s letter. [84] _Poetica_, ll. 126, 130. Much of the information of this _Poetica_ (printed in C. C. B.) may be gleaned from the _Cancioneiros_, but it shows how carefully the different kinds of poem were distinguished. There were apparently special names for poems to trick and deceive: _de logr’ e d’arteiro_, and for festive laughter poems: _de risadelha_ (or _refestela_?) = _de riso e mote_. Santillana’s _mansobre_ is, it seems, a misprint for _mordobre_. It occurs again in the _Requesta de Ferrant Manuel contra Alfonso Alvarez_ (_Canc. de Baena_, 1860 ed., i. 253): Sin lai, sin deslai, sin cor, sin descor. Sin dobre, mansobre, sensilla o menor. Sin encadenado, dexar o prender. [85] e. g. C. V. 300: _Por Deus, se ora, se ora chegasse Con el mui leda seria._ [86] _q’coi_ (C. V. M.), _qual cór_ (C. V. B.). D. Carolina Michaëlis de Vasconcellos proposes _quiça_ (cf. C. V. 1006, I. 8). [87] _Aqueste cantar da egoa que non andou na tregoa_ (C. V. 956). [88] Or D. Joan Garcia de Guilhade. See C. A. M. V. ii. 407-15. [89] C. V. 28-38, 343-61, 1097-1110; C. A. 235-9; C. C. B. 373-6. [90] A large number of _cantigas_ by the same hand would emphasize the monotony of the kind and provide an unwelcome mirror for contemporary bards. Of Roy Queimado (fl. 1250) other love-lorn poets said that he was always dying of love--in verse. [91] Soares de Brito in his _Theatrum_ mentions ‘Ferdinandus Garcia _Esparavanha_, optimus poeta’ (= _bom trovador_). [92] See p. 31. [93] See _Randglosse_ xii. An incidental interest belongs to this poem of eighteen dodecasyllabic lines from the fact that in C. V. B. it is printed in thirty-six lines, as a proof of the early predominance of the _redondilha_. [94] Cf. the Provençal passage in Milá y Fontanals, _De los Trobadores_, p. 62. [95] He thus overlapped Dante’s life by four years at either end. [96] T. A. Craveiro, _Compendio_ (1833), cap. 5: _D. Diniz trouxe a idade de ouro a Portugal_. [97] A late echo of the early (Alfonso X) legislation against the _jogral_ is to be found in King Duarte’s _Leal Conselheiro_, cap. 70: _Dos Pecados da Obra_. These include _dar aos jograaees_. Nunez de Leam translates _joglar_ as _truão_ (1606). [98] C. V. 80-208 (= C. D. L. 1-75, 77-128, 76) and C. C. B. 406-15 (= C. D. L. 129-38). C. V. 116 = C. V. 174. [99] _Cronica del Rei D. Diniz_, 1677 ed., f. 113 v.
