Dear Gregory,
I fear I cannot contribute much, but Blovin was sometimes a topic in
this list.
In the foreword of the edition of GOESS V Tim Crawford gives all
manuscripts, that have pieces written by Blovin - I quote (p.10):
"Copyist A can be identified as an important French lute teacher, Julien
Blovin (c.1650?-1715), who was activ in Rome between 1672 and his death.
He copied music for pupils in his elegend hand in at least four other
extant lute MSS:
a) some pieces in an MS tablature for baroque guitar and angelique in
the private collection of Prof. Hellmuth Federhofer, Mainz, signed on
f.18v: 'Julien Blouin A Rome le IIme Auril 1673'
b) Prague, University Library, MS.II.Kk 84, entirely in this hand,
signed on flyleaf: 'Julien Blouin A Rome 1676', formerly in the private
library of the Lobkowitz family at Roudnice (Raudnitz) Castle in Bohemia
and bearing the bookplate of Prince Philipp Hyacinth von Lobkowitz
(1680-1735), an enthusiastic lutenist and a patron and collector of lute
music;
c) six pieces in Lublin, Biblioteke Publiczna Im.H.Lopacinskiego, MS
1985 [Lublin]. written for the original owner and compiler, Count
Kazimierz [Casimir] Wodzicki (d.1742), who dates the MS on a Flyleaf:
'...par may A Rome ce 5. Oct. 1694'm, and at the end of the book records
hiring a lute and receiving lessons, presumably in Paris, from 'Mr
Gallot' [Pierre Gallot, le jeune, c. 1660-after 1715];
d) a single strain of the popular 'Folies d'Espagne' copied into Paris,
Bibliothèque Nationale, Rés. Vmc. ms. 61 (formerly in the possession of
the Polish musicologist Aleksander Polinski), dated on a flyleaf
'Venetiis 7.7br. 1712', a lute manuscript in several different hands and
originally owned by a Polish (probably aristocratic) lutenist possibly
connected with the Sobieski family - patrons of Silvius Leopold Weiss -
who were in Italy, based in Rome, at that time."
Tim Crawford also mentions Blovin in his online article:
The historical importance of Francois Dufault and his influence on
musicians outside France:

That's not much, but I hope it helps.
Best regards
