Abstract
This article takes as its subject the Granadan goldsmith Hernando Ortiz, who was active in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Hitherto unknown, Ortiz appeared to have worked on an official basis for the archbishopric of Granada, judging by the amount of pieces he was commissioned to create and which are recorded in the Contaduría Mayor (accounts) consulted. Although our focus in this study are the monstrances he made, we also make note of the many liturgical items he fashioned, most of which have disappeared over time.
