Abstract
This article has been taken from my master dissertation (July 2012): "Proposal for a critical edition of the songbook by Johan Servando", which is ascribed to a project of production of monographs dedicated to individual troubadours of the Galician-Portuguese lyric tradition. The study analyzes the songs of pilgrimage composed by Johan Servando (jester, second half sec.
XIII), which form the most voluminous cycle of cantigas de romaría among the whole tradition, from three points of view: the attempt to reconstruct a plot that gives meaning to the cycle; the comparison with other cantigas de romaría in the tradition; an experiment of analysis of the "lyrical voices" by using modern theories of literary criticism.
