Grimm's Fairy Tales This book contains 209 tales collected by the brothers Grimm. The exact print source is unknown. The etext appears to be based on the translation by Margaret Hunt called Grimm's Household Tales, but it is not identical to her edition. (Some of the translations are slightly different, the arrangement also differs, and the Grimm's scholarly notes are not included.) The etext received by the Universal Library did not include story titles. Note that these tales are presented more or less as the Grimms collected and edited them (and as Hunt saw fit to translate them). NEW: There is now a more accurate version of the Hunt translation posted by William Barker.
Instrumentos medievales. Un valioso tesoro que debemos cuidar En la Edad Media hubo una gran cantidad de instrumentos musicales, de los cuales hoy en día se conservan muy pocos. Para conocerlos, debemos acudir a los grabados, pinturas, esculturas y otras representaciones que dejan la huella a través de los tiempos para que podamos interpretar cómo eran y cómo podían sonar. Las cantigas son una inmejorable fuente de información, y mediante las preciosas ilustraciones de las de Santa María, de Alfonso X “El Sabio”, han llegado hasta nosotros las figuras que presentaban estos instrumentos. Por otro lado, sobre muchos de ellos, el famoso “Arcipreste de Hita (h.1290-1379), nos dejó diversas alusiones en su Libro de Cantares, o de Buen Amor, según se le denomina en el contexto. La Vihuela, el Laúd, la Axabeba, la Guitarra morisca, la Dulcema y el Salterio serán algunos de los protagonistas de este artículo, una pequeña selección de este gran legado de instrumentos medievales, que han sobrevivido el paso del tiempo durante siglos y siglos.
