Note 100 — I 1185-1325
Reading edition
Mandou hum livro delles escrito por sua mão a seu avò ... o qual eu vi na livraria do Real Convento do Escurial, em folha de papel grosso, de marca pequena, volume de tres ou quatro dedos de alto, de letra grande, latina, bem legivel, e o que ly era de Louvores a Nossa Senhora, e outras cousas ao divino (Eva e Ave, 1676 ed., pp. 128-9). This interesting passage is not included in those quoted in C. A. M. V. ii. 112-17; it is obviously the source of no. 17. It does not imply that the poems were exclusively religious. Can the book three or four fingers in height have been the Canc. da Ajuda (460 millimètres) from which a section of sacred poems may have been torn? If so the letters Rey Dõ Denis (C. A. M. V. i. 141) would explain the attribution to King Dinis.
