While speaking of these doors, we should remember that Moorish craftsmen were employed to decorate or to repair the mosque of Cordova long after it had been converted to the worship of the Christians. When he was acting as viceroy in the year 1275, the Infante Don Fernando confirmed a letter of his father, King Alfonso, remitting tolls and taxes that would otherwise be leviable upon four Moors who worked in the cathedral. The Infante's confirmation, after recording that "one (of the four Moors) is dead and the other blind, in such wise that he can work no more," consents to the engagement of another two, Famet and Zahec by name, to fill their places, and who also are hereby exempted from the payment of all dues. Five years afterwards this privilege was reconfirmed by King Alfonso, and we are further told on this occasion that two of the Moorish four were _albañís_, or masons, and the others _añaiares_, or carpenters. As time progressed, the situation of the vanquished and humiliated Mussulmans grew more irksome. On October 25th, 1320, the Infante Don Sancho, who had usurped the throne, proclaimed, in ratification of a letter issued by his father, that all the Moorish carpenters, masons, sawyers, and other workmen and artificers of Cordova must work in the cathedral (presumably without a wage) for two days in every year.[94] [94] _Libro de las Tablas_, pp. 17, 18. See Madrazo, _Cordova_, pp. 273 _et seq._ [Illustration: XXXVI BRONZE CRUCIFIX (_12th Century_)] In the latter half of the sixteenth century, Bartolomé Morel, a Sevillano, produced some notable work in bronze.[95] Three objects by his hand--namely, the choir lectern and the tenebrarium of Seville cathedral, and the weathercock or _Giraldillo_ which crowns the celebrated tower of the same enormous temple--are specially distinguished for their vigour and effectiveness. [95] In documents which relate to him (see Gestoso's _Dictionary of Sevillian Artificers_) Morel is often called an _artillero_. His father, Juan Morel, was also a founder of cannon, and signed a contract in 1564 to cast two bronze pieces or _tiros_, with the royal arms on them.
