About

Martín Codax was a medieval Galician troubadour, possibly from Vigo, Galicia, who probably lived in the latter part of the 13th century or possibly the beginning of the 14th century. No certain biographical information about him exists.

The body of work attributed to him is limited to seven cantigas d’ amigo that appear in the lyrics of Portuguese-Galician songbooks and in the Vindel parchment; in all three manuscripts he is listed as the author of the compositions and the order of the seven songs is identical.

The discovery of this parchment was by sheer chance: the antiquarian bookseller Pedro Vindel in Madrid found it in his library at the beginning of the 20th century, lining a copy of Cicero’s De Officiis.
