The Simancas Fragment contains fragments of music composed for the vihuela, a historic stringed instrument from Spain. The manuscript, copied around 1560, was discovered among documents from the personal collection of Isabel of Valois, consort of Philip II, King of Spain. The two fragments contain music written in six-line Italian tablature, including a set of variations on Guárdame las vacas by Luis de Narváez, and lyrics of three songs, serving as a valuable testament to sixteenth-century Spanish musical tradition.

We have 1 facsimile edition of the manuscript "Simancas Fragment": Siete piezas en cifra entre los papeles de Isabel de Valois facsimile edition, published by Testimonio Compañía Editorial, 1998

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
