A blind oracionero and musician who in 1464 signed a contract with the young Pedro Taltaull to teach him how to play “viula and citara et aliorum quorumcumque instrumentorum de corda”.
It is unlikely that this is the same Juan Alfonso de Sevilla [P0152] who served King Alfonso V of Aragon as lutenist between 1417 and 1432 (see Gomez Muntané 1992, pp. 588-589) and who later served as interpreter in the court of Constantinople (see corona1999, Ap. 3 3, section II.3.7, and Gómez Muntané 1992).
