Cantigas de escárnio e maldizer
Cantigas de escárnio e maldizer (Portuguese), cantiga de escarnio e maldicir (Galician) or cantigas d'escarnho e de maldizer (Galician-Portuguese), are poems of insult, mockery and scorn – nearly always with comic intent – which constitute one of the three main genres of medieval Galician-Portuguese lyric.
