«Antología de su obra poética» is the poetry anthology by Juan de Mena, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (345 pages, in Spanish).
It gathers a selection of the poetic output of Juan de Mena (1411-1456), a 15th-century author whose work sits between the medieval twilight and the early Renaissance. The edition by José María Azaceta provides an introduction, notes, glossary and a repertoire that contextualise the poems and aid their understanding.
It corresponds to the first edition, published in 1986 within the Clásicos Plaza & Janés collection (volume 55).
It is of interest to those approaching medieval Spanish literature and 15th-century poetry.
Juan de Mena (1411–1456) was one of the most significant Spanish poets of the fifteenth century. He was highly regarded at the court of Juan II de Castilla, who appointed him veinticuatro of Córdoba, secretario de cartas latinas and cronista real. His works show the influence of Renaissance humanism and place him in the period of transition in Spain from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance.
