Anónimo 4
Trovador medieval

Biographical Note:

Unknown author, but whose work is perfectly recognizable in the Ajuda Songbook (Cancioneiro da Ajuda). Actually, in this songbook, the only manuscript to have transmitted them, his ten songs (A 267-276) appear preceded by a space reserved for a miniature and followed by a blank space. This means that the authorship is by a single and well-determined troubadour, whose name, unfortunately, we do not know. Resende de Oliveira1, guided by the sequence of authors appearing in the cantigas de amigo’s section of the Italian apographs, suggests the hypothesis of attribution to Vasco Peres Pardal.
.Recently, Rios Milhám2 has argued that it could be Gonçalo Anes do Vinhal.
