Versiones hispánicas de El debate de las flores a la luz de las magrebíes e hispanoárabes

Abstract

Until now critics had located the lyrical topic known as The debate of the flowers in several poems from the Middle Ages, as well as in certain songs from Sephardic, Balkan, Romanian, and Hungarian folklore. The aims of this paper are, on the one hand, to present some Hispanic and Maghrebi versions of this debate and, on the other, to describe certain analogies between these Spanish, Sephardic, and Hispanic American testimonies and mthe Arab versions.
