Companion to Music in the Age of the Catholic Monarchs
The Companion to Music in the Age of the Catholic Monarchs, edited by Tess Knighton, offers a major new study that deepens and enriches our understanding of the forms and functions of music that flourished in late medieval Spanish society. The fifteen essays, written by leading authorities in the field, present a synthesis based on recently discovered material that throws new light on different aspects of musical life during the reign of Ferdinand and Isabel (1474-1516): sacred and secular music-making in royal and aristocratic circles; the cathedral music environment; liturgy and power; musical connections with Rome, Portugal and the New World; theoretical and unwritten musical practices; women as patrons and performers; and the legacy of Jewish musical tradition. Contributors are Mercedes Castillo Ferreira, Giuseppe Fiorentino, Roberta Freund Schwartz, Eleazar Gutwirth, Tess Knighton, Kenneth Kreitner, Javier Marín López, Ascensión Mazuela-Anguita, Bernadette Nelson, Pilar Ramos López, Emilio Ros-Fábregas, Juan Ruiz Jiménez, Richard Sherr, Ronald Surtz, and Jane Whetnall.
A Companion to the Queenship of Isabel la Católica
The queenship of the first European Renaissance queen regnant never ceases to fascinate. As fascists to feminists fight over Isabel’s legacy, we ask which recyclings of her image are legitimate or appropriate. Or has this figure taken on a life of her own?
Medieval Hispanic Studies in Memory of Alan Deyermond
"Professor Alan Deyermond was one of the leading British Hispanists of the last fifty years, whose work had a formative influence on medieval Hispanic studies around the world ... Given Professor Deyermond's breadth of expertise, the span of the essays is appropriately wide, ranging chronologically from the thirteenth to the sixteenth century, and covering lyric, hagiography, clerical verse narrative, frontier balladry, historical and codicological studies"--P. [4] of cover.
Secrets of Pinar's Game (2 vols)
In Secrets of Pinar’s Game, Roger Boase is the first to decipher a card game completed in 1496 for Queen Isabel, Prince Juan, her daughters and her 40 court ladies. This game offers readers access to the cultural memory of a group of educated women, revealing their knowledge of proverbs, poetry and sentimental romance, their understanding of the symbolism of birds and trees, and many facts ignored in official sources. Boase translates all verse into English, reassesses the jousting invenciones in the Cancionero general (1511), reinterprets the poetry of Pinar’s sister Florencia, and identifies Acevedo, author of some poems about festivities in Murcia c. 1507. He demonstrates that many of Pinar’s ladies reappear as prostitutes in the anonymous Carajicomedia two decades later.

Estudios sobre el cancionero general (Valencia, 1511)
El Cancionero general, recopilado por Hernando del Castillo, fue publicado por vez primera en Valencia hace quinientos años, en 1511. La reunión en él de más de doscientos poetas, autores de más de mil poemas amorosos, religiosos, canciones, romances, invenciones, glosas, villancicos, poemas dialogados y humorísticos lo convierten en una verdadera enciclopedia de la lírica entre el Medievo y el Renacimiento. Los presentes dos volúmenes reúnen casi 40 estudios de algunos de los más destacados especialistas en el campo de la poesía cancioneril medieval y de los Siglos de Oro. Trabajos centrados, desde distintas perspectivas -socio-literaria, crítica o analítica, textual o de la historia de la imprenta y el libro- en el análisis del principal cancionero de las letras hispánicas y uno de los monumentos más impresionantes de nuestro pasado cultural.
