«Cantigas profanas» is the poetry collection by Alfonso X el Sabio, edited by Juan Paredes (Castalia, paperback, 222 pages, in Spanish).
Cantigas profanas brings together poems by Alfonso X el Sabio of a personal and light-hearted tone. Written by the monarch himself, they are one of the most bawdy and burlesque collections of the Middle Ages and remain close to today's reader. This critical edition, prepared by Juan Paredes, is the first devoted to these compositions and studies them with annotations.
Volume 302 of the Clásicos Castalia collection, published in 2010. The edition includes an introduction and notes by Juan Paredes.
For readers of medieval poetry and the work of Alfonso X el Sabio who want to discover the king's more playful and transgressive side.
Alfonso X was King of Castile, León and Galicia from 1 June 1252 until his death in 1284. During the election of 1257, a dissident faction chose him to be king of Germany on 1 April. He renounced his claim to Germany in 1275, and in creating an alliance with the Kingdom of England in 1254, his claim on the Duchy of Gascony as well.
