Abstract
This paper presents a review of the different kind of texts that were written in Galician during the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. This analysis is preceded by a brief presentation of the written uses of this language in the Middle Ages and concludes with an approach to its revival in the 19th century. The analysis is completed with a parallel reference to what we know about the written use of the Asturian language in the same periods. Our aproach is not literary, but sociolinguistic since the texts we present are not limited to those wich contain literary creation. Besides, in our presentation we attempet to clarify the relations between the written production of each historical period an the sociolinguistic contexts of Medieval, Modern and Contemporary Galicia and Asturias.
