In one of the two inventories complied in 1587 of the possessions of the recently deceased Valladolid patrician Doctor Diego de Tovar is a large ebony vihuela “Una viguela grande de éuano” – a large ebony vihuela [document D1044]. From a second inventory [D0325] we learn that he also owned a “libro de música de Anriquez” [= Valderrábano]
