Apparently it's at the Universitaets- und Stadtbibliothek, Koeln, **Liure pour le lut / Pour Le Lut theorbe," MS 1.N.68 ([before 1976:] MS 5.P.177). 109 folios (many blank). It's in Boetticher's RISM inventory, page 151. Also listed in Pohlmann (5th ed.), p. 144 (MS 1. / V.68 <sic: /V>; can't read his own handwriting). Giesbert's edition, which is just a **selection** of pieces in transcription and tablature(!) appeared in 1965. I think I also saw a reference in the USB's online catalogue. Also to a microfilm (do they just have a microfilm?). There was another manuscript in that library which had pieces by Diomedes Cato and that one is "missing."
You should inquire at the library. Let us know what you discover. ----- Original Message ----- From: "William Samson" <[1]willsam...@yahoo.co.uk> To: <[2]baroque-lute@cs.dartmouth.edu> Sent: Thursday, October 31, 2013 2:10 PM Subject: [BAROQUE-LUTE] Cologne lute MS? > Dear collective wisdom, > > You're probably aware of the 'Lautenbuch Livre pour le lut Koeln, 18. > Jahrhundert' published by Schott ED5425, edited by Giesbert perhaps in > the 1930s???? > > There's some nice stuff in there and I was trying to learn more about > the original MS.
