The "Laudario di Cortona" is a medieval manuscript that contains a collection of laude, which are Italian devotional songs or hymns. It is associated with the Franciscan tradition and reflects the spiritual and musical practices of the early 13th century. The manuscript is named after the town of Cortona, where it was preserved. The laude in the manuscript are typically written in the vernacular Italian, rather than Latin, making them accessible to a broader audience.
