Alas - I don't have Jacobs book either - too expensive.
Trawling through my own library it seems that Fuenllana was employed as a
músico de cámera by the Portuguese monarch D. Sebastião in 1574, and
therefore he was still alive and active after his service with Isabel de
Valois terminated in 1568
Dear Monica, List
Charles Jacobs, in his edition of Orphenica Lyra (OUP, 1978), says something
about Fuenllana's date(s) of death. Apparently there's some problem, because
certain documents imply an earlier death, but her daughter latter mentions
him as alive at a latter date, or something like th
I know of a recording (I do realize that program notes on Cd's may or
may not be accurate) of all works of Fuenllana, by the group
"Orphenica Lyra", directed by Jose Miguel Moreno.
The program notes were written by Ivan Moody. In it, he states that

I agree - 1520 seems more likely for his birth. I think there might be

than around 30 for such a prestigious (and large - ie expensive)
publication.
So I'd put his date of birth around 1520. I suspect the c 1500 - 1579
means that 1500 is a guess but 1579 is evidenced. 1579 also fits w
Does anyone have any dates for Fuenllana. I have just come across a
source which gives them as c.1500-1579. It seems unlikely to me that
he would have lived to be 79... Groves gives fl. 1553-1578.
