Martin Codax
The parchment was originally discovered by the Madrid-based antiquarian bookseller and bibliophile Pedro Vindel among his possessions in 1913; it had been used as the cover of a copy of Cicero's De Officiis.
Martim Codax's poems that appeared in the parchment are the following (originally untitled, they are listed by the first line):[3] In the Pergaminho Vindel, musical notation (although with lacunae) survives along with the texts, except for the sixth one.
Mia irmana fremosa, treides comigo a la igreja de Vigo u é o mar salido e miraremos las ondas.
A la igreja de Vigo u é o mar salido e verrá i mia madre e o meu amigo e miraremos las ondas.
A la igreja de Vigo u é o mar levado e verrá i mia madre e o meu amado e miraremos las ondas.
A fada e o dragón
The sculpture, cast in bronze, represents a nymph with two flutes, riding a winged dragon's back. With this piece, the artist ( Xaime Quessada ) pays tribute to Galicia's oral culture and the medieval poets and troubadours who, like Martin Codax, or Mendinho , celebrated the bounties of Vigo's sea.
