Greetings, I will assume that no one knows of a good source for the English translation I am looking for. I am re-sending this on the hope that it just got lost in the "historical sound" discussion.

I do have the facsimiles. I would like to gain the benefit of his instructions but I have almost no Italian and automatic translators are pretty useless. I am learning Theorbo and using Nigel North's "Continuo playing on the lute, archlute, and theorbo" as a guide - it is definitely helpful but I would like to get closer to the source. Thank you for any guidance you can provide. Regards David Smith -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
