- 1973, Romance Philology - Volume 26, page 491:
- The relationship between the villancico and parallelistic or zejelesque elaborations remains a mystery, but S.R. sees the few examples of popular traditional elaborations as neither rigidly parallelistic, on the one hand, nor, on the other, zejelesque ; they are an amalgam of the two formulae, and could be called "zejelismo paralelistico" or "paralelismo zejelesco".

- A more zejelesque kind of verse, however, is found in the anonymous Provencal baladas.
- 2009, Jean-Louis Aroui, Andy Arleo, Towards a Typology of Poetic Forms: From language to metrics and beyond, →ISBN:
- The originality of this eight-line stanza lies in the fact that the zejelesque rhyme scheme (aaab) shows up on even-numbered lines, while odd-numbered lines remain free, except for the seventh, which sometimes has an a rhyme.
