Biographical information

zalamaJUANA p. 35: In 1491, Juana bought a vihuela which she gave to one of her musicians to play. Zalama observes that this proves that the instrument was played in her presence. The original document states that she bought “vna vihuela que mandó dar la ynfante a vn tañedor, que costó vn castellano”. The documentary source is given in footnote 81. Zalama also speculates that she may have known how to play the clavichord, but only on the basis of the education in these matters of her brother Juan.
