This book contains an edited and contextualized collection of poetry that is preserved, without an author's name, in a manuscript in the Vatican Apostolic Library. The internal and external analysis of the manuscript has made it possible to attribute it to Joan Salom (or Salon), a Franciscan monk who, in addition to being a noted scholar and astronomer, had an important role in reforming the Gregorian calendar, and who is here also revealed as a poet. Beyond the interest of adding previously unknown lyrics to the Catalan literary production of the 1500s, this poetry is important because it is situated at the time when the new Italian poetic forms of the Renaissance were being introduced in Catalan poetry.
