Baena Songbook
- Only a few decades before the Baena Songbook was compiled, Enrique de Villena (died 1434), a writer of Aragonese extraction, was commissioned in 1427 by King Juan II of Castile to produce a vernacular translation of the Aeneid. Villena divided the poem and its gloss into 366 chapters, one for each day of the year. Villena's text is divided into three parts. The Prohemio is indebted to the traditions of the accessus and vita. This introductory material is followed by the prose translation of the Aeneid itself, which in turn is accompanied by extensive marginal comments (extant for only books 1–3). See Gilbert-Santamaría, Donald.
