The
Cancioneiro da Biblioteca Nacional (, , "The National Library Songbook"), commonly called
Colocci-Brancuti, is a compilation of
Galician-Portuguese lyrics by both
troubadours and
jograes (non-noble performers and composers) . These
cantigas (songs) are classified, following indications in the poems themselves and in the manuscript tradition, into three main genres:
cantigas de amigo (female-voiced love songs, about a boyfriend),
cantigas de amor (male-voiced love songs) and
cantigas de escárnio e mal-dizer (songs of mockery and insult).
