Dear lute friends,
in the foreword of Christian Meyer's book "Sources Manuscrites en Tabulature" for Theorbe and Lute, Vol. III/1 for Austria (1997) he noted at time of printing "... it has been impossible up to now to identify or locate several manuscripts, e.g. MS 3102 and MS 10.065 from Vienna...". However, I have been lucky to retrieve both tabulature manuscripts. It appeared that both manuscripts are for Mandora. MS 10.065 is for 6c Mandora (Tabulature with 6 lines), and MS 3102 actually is a Mandora School book for 8c Mandora (Tabulature with 5 lines). Both manuscripts are 18th century. I have hand-copied both manuscripts (digital copies should not published accoding to copyright). The copied manuscripts are available in my SCRIBT account [1]http://www.scribd.com/doc/85739402/Mandora-Tabulature-Vienna-MS-10-0 65-127 and [2]http://www.scribd.com/doc/85739791/Mandora-School-Tabulature-Vienna- MS-3102-SCH I am having digital copies of both tabulatures available for private use / exchange among private individuals on request. Best regards from Vienna, Bernhard. -- References 1. http://www.scribd.com/doc/85739402/Mandora-Tabulature-Vienna-MS-10-065-127 2. http://www.scribd.com/doc/85739791/Mandora-School-Tabulature-Vienna-MS-3102-SCH To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
