"A Spanish Anthology" by various authors is a collection of lyrics from the thirteenth century down to the present time. It is not to be forgotten, however, that it is but one out of several lyric traditions that have flourished within the bounds of Spain; for the Spaniard can point with pride to a poetic production in Latin which extended from the Silver Age of Latin literature well into the Middle Ages, and that the Arabs and the Hebrews who settled on his soil composed and sang in their respective tongues.
