Universo Cantigas: Galician-Portuguese lyric poetry letter by letter
July 2020

La Voz de Galicia published a report about Universo Cantigas and an interview with its coordinator, Manuel Ferreiro (a member of ILLA) on 12 July.


With the title "A lírica galego-portuguesa, letra a letra" (Galician-Portuguese lyric poetry, letter by letter), the newspaper from A Coruña dedicates an extensive report, written by Rodri García, to the project of editing medieval Galician-Portuguese profane lyric poetry that is being carried out by an interuniversity team coordinated by Prof. Manuel Ferreiro and in which the members of ILLA Leticia Eirín, Xosé Ramón Freixeiro and Xosé Manuel Sánchez Rei also participate.

Aspects such as the process of elaboration of the edition –initiated with the Glossary of profane medieval Galician-Portuguese poetry–, the international interest aroused by the work, free and universal access to its results and funding achieved in various competitive calls are highlighted in the pages of La Voz of Galicia, that considers the medieval lyric the "Pórtico da Gloria" of Galician literature.
