[Andalusi Studies] [New Open Iberia/América unit] Alfonso X, Cantigas de Santa Maria (Cantiga 5)

Tue Nov 14 10:38:09 PST 2023

Dear colleagues,

Open Iberia/América <https://openiberiaamerica.hcommons.org/> is happy to announce the publication of another new teaching unit: Alfonso X’s Cantigas de Santa Maria (Cantiga 5, “How the Virgin Mary helped the Empress of Rome”)<https://openiberiaamerica.hcommons.org/2023/11/14/alfonso-x-cantigas-de-santa-maria-como-santa-maria-ajudou-a-emperadriz-de-roma-how-the-virgen-mary-helped-the-empress-of-rome/>, with the original Galician-Portuguese text accompanied (in two versions) by Spanish or English introductions, notes, and facing translations of the text. The unit was edited by Allison Carberry Gottlieb and Diane Burke Moneypenny, and by OIA Castilian Editor Sol Miguel-Prendes, who also provided the Spanish translation.

This unit, and some 20 others drawn from premodern Iberian and Latin American sources, are available for download, reproduction, and reuse with an Open Access license for you and your students.

This is a reminder that the editorial team of Open Iberia/América (primarily Castlian editor Sol Miguel-Prendes and me, with the support of a team of editors specialized in the languages of the Iberian Peninsula and the Americas) maintains a collection of pedagogical editions of medieval and early modern texts at https://openiberiaamerica.hcommons.org/.

The texts are edited in their original languages, with an introduction for students and non-specialists, translation, and notes in English. There is also a version with introduction, translation, and notes in Spanish, so the units can be used in either English- or Spanish-speaking classrooms.

All texts are published under a Creative Commons license<https://creativecommons.org/licenses/>, and so can be downloaded, copied, modified, and distributed without copyright fees or permission, but with attribution.

We currently have some twenty texts published, most of them excerpts (approx. 2000-5000 words) of longer works, with a number of other texts in the pipleline:
