Do Cancioneiro ''ordenado e emendado'' por Garcia de Resende

Abstract

The present article intends to regard Garcia de Resende’s Cancioneiro Geral (1516) as a collection of verse compositions which are characterized by two fundamental aspects: i) it is poetry which was produced in and for the Portuguese court at the end of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th; ii) it is a collection of texts organised with a view to its presentation in such a way that the authorship would be carefully indicated and the projection of the cancioneiro would be part of the political propaganda of the Portuguese crown.
