Coinnitmications from Spanish Caiicioiicros. 89 



more or less closely related to our cancioiiero,i are little more than 

 incomplete and defective copies of the 18th century, as may be 

 gathered from the comparative table of the three collections given 

 at the close of this article. 



In the list of the contents which now follows, the text of the two 

 poems of Gomez Manrique and of Juan de Mena's ' Canta tu, Christi- 

 ana musa' is collated with the one found in the edition of Gomez 

 Manrique's works by Paz y Melia, that of Montoro's compositions 

 with the one contained in Cotarelo y Mori's edition. 2 It is hoped 

 that other students will thus be spared the trouble of examining the 

 Caucionero de la Coloinbina again. A similar collation would have 

 been made of the poem by Perez de Guzman and of Mena's Lab- 

 eriiito, if other manuscript or printed versions of these two com- 

 positions had been accessible to me at the time. Owing to the 

 defective condition of the manuscript, the preparation of a careful 

 copy w^ould have required more time than was available."^

 for /, gran for grand^ -aba for -aita^ which Cotarelo regularly permits him- 

 self to introduce.
