In a document from Tona, Catalonia, dated 888 A. D., we find the word organum among other objects donated to the church of Saint Andrew's monastery. This word has been understood as a clerical or write error, a book of polyphonic music and a musical instrument. However, by comparison with a similar document from Guimarães, in the north-west of the Iberian Peninsula, dated 959 A. D., we can deduce that it is in fact a archaic way to designate the Book of Psalms, that has survived in the Northern Peninsula until the Xth century.
