Books like Poema de mio Cid by Anonymous


The *Poema de mio Cid* (also known as the *Cantar de mio Cid*) is an anonymous epic poem that vividly describes the triumphs of the Castilian knight Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, called the Cid Campeador, in the final years of his life. Composed around the year 1200, it is the earliest extensive literary work in Spanish and the only nearly complete epic poem from that era; only the first folio and two interior leaves are missing, but the gaps can be inferred from contemporary chronicles such as the *Crónica de veinte reyes*. Its importance extends beyond literature, as the study of this poem by Ramón Menéndez Pidal in the late 19th century inaugurated modern philology in Spain, applying the historical‑critical method to a medieval text for the first time.
