Ferdinand Columbus (1488–1539), son of the explorer, also began to be serious collectors of music, whether manuscript or printed. In 1509, he owned ‘six part books for playing, with forty-seven pages of instrumental music without counting the blank pages’ (‘seis cuadernos de tañer que tienen cuarenta y siete hojas del tañer, sin las blancas’), and the post mortem inventory of his possessions included ‘A wrapper that reads music for vihuela and clavichord’ (‘Un envoltorio que dice música de vihuela y monacordio’), ‘ballads for singing and playing’ (‘romances para cantar y tañer’), and a harpischord (‘clavicordio’) (Ruiz Jiménez 2014a: 6).
