The earliest true organ was the Greek hydraulis, which existed at least 2300 years ago.
During the Middle Ages, the portative organ (imagine an Accordion, but with pipes) and the positive organ (church organ) were used.
There was not much, if anything, written specifically for keyboard during the Middle Ages, because music was conceived of as being for voices, and the instruments were regarded as types of voices. In fact the idea that purely instrumental music could be played was rather a scandelous novelty when it happened. In the Late Middle Ages, an organist's job included figuring out how to play different voices simultaneously.
