Abstract

In this paper we bring new documents referred to two organs built in Seville in the sixteenth century and the beginning of the seventeenth century, disappeared nowadays. These organs were built for two churches destroyed in the nineteenth century, and their constructors were two organ builders almost unknown until now. In the fi rst place we write about the organ that Gerónimo de León built for the church of the Hospital del Espíritu Santo in Triana in 1559, and then we write about the one that Pedro Franco made for the church of San Miguel in 1634.
