Antonio de Cabezon, organist of Philip II

The keyboard player of Charles V and Philip II, heard at Genoa as "otro Orfeo de nuestros tiempos" and buried under a monument the king paid for. This entry reports what the nineteenth-century Spanish record holds: a compiler who searched two Madrid parishes for his birth and burial and found neither, two printings of the lost epitaph that disagree word for word, an unverified priority claim, and a Spanish historian who called his doctrine Flemish.
