ya Rab, ¿si me tornarád? ¡Tan mal meu doler li-l-habib! Enfermo yed, ¿cuánd sanarád? Typically spoken in the voice of a woman, the kharjas express the anxieties of love, particularly of its loss, as in the following example:

The kharjas appeared at the end of longer poetry written in Arabic or Hebrew known as muwashshah, which were lengthy glosses on the ideas expressed in the kharjas. The kharjas, dating from the 9th to the 12th centuries C.E., were short poems spoken in local colloquial Hispano-Romance dialects, known as Mozarabic, but written in Arabic script. The earliest recorded examples of a vernacular Romance-based literature date from the same time and location, the rich mix of Muslim, Jewish, and Christian cultures in Muslim Spain, in which Maimonides, Averroes, and others worked. These final refrains are known as kharjas ( jarchas in Spanish). This is shown by the fact that different authors in the second half of the 11th century could include, at the end of poems written in Arabic or Hebrew, closing verses that, in many cases, were examples of traditional lyric in a Romance language, namely Mozarabic. Spanish oral literature was doubtless in existence before Spanish texts were written. Latin texts were no longer understood, as can be seen from the glosses used in manuscripts of Castile to explain Latin terms. Traditionally, the first and last works of this period are taken to be respectively the Cantar de Mio Cid, an epic poem whose manuscript dates from 1207, and La Celestina (1499), a work commonly described as transitional between the medieval period and the Renaissance.īy the end of the 10th century, the languages spoken in northern Spain had developed far from their Latin origins, and can assuredly be called Romance. Medieval Spanish literature consists of the corpus of literary works written in medieval Spanish between the beginning of the 13th and the end of the 15th century. «De cómmo una leona llevó a Garfín, el fijo mayor del cavallero Zifar» In 2016, Epic! was recognized as an AASL Best Website for Teaching & Learning and AASL Best App for Teaching & Learning.Libro del caballero Zifar, f.
