To provide a phosphor having a broad emission spectrum with a peak in the range from yellow color to red color (wavelength from 570 nm to 620 nm), having a flat excitation band with large area on the long wavelength side from near ultraviolet/ultraviolet to green color (wavelength from 250 nm to 550 nm), and excellent in emission intensity and luminance, and a method of manufacturing the same, and also a light source such as white LED using the phosphor. As raw materials, Ca3N2(2N), AlN(3N), Si3N4(3N), and Eu2O3(3N) are prepared, and out of each raw material, 0.950/3 mol of Ca3N2, 2 mol of AlN, 4/3 mol of Si3N4, and 0.050/2 mol of Eu2O3 are weighed, and the raw materials thus weighed are mixed by using a mortar. The raw materials thus mixed are put in a BN crucible, and retained/fired for 3 hours at 1700° C. in a nitrogen atmosphere, and thereafter cooled from 1700° C. to 200° C., to thereby obtain the phosphor expressed by a composition formula <?in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="lead"?>Ca0.950Al2Si4O0.075N7.917:Eu0.050.<?in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="tail"?>
