Dear Hans, I hope you live near Eichst=E4tt because there's (literally?) a ton of mandora music in the Universit=E4tsbibliothek. One authority on this repertory is Dieter Kirsch at the University of Wurzburg. He has an article with a list of the manuscripts in "Musik fur Mandora in der Universit=E4tsbibliothek Eichst=E4tt," Sammelblatt Historischer Verein Eichst=E4att 86 (1993): 85-102.
Zinck (I misspelled his name) was a court musician in that city. Pietro Proesser (sp??) has an article on Federico Marincola's web page, but I haven't read it yet. Good luck!! And let us know what you discover. (Lots of mandora music in Kremsmunster, too.) arthur. ----- Original Message ----- From: Hans Kockelmans To: early-guitar@cs.dartmouth.edu ; ARTHUR NESS Sent: Friday, September 09, 2005 2:29 PM Subject: [EARLY-GUIT] Re: Variant 6th string/course tuning Hello Arthur, I am a reader of the Lutelist, I play baroque Lute, but mainly focused on the early guitar. Do you know more examples of sources "fuer Guitare oder Mandora" ? And do you know where I can find the Joseph Zink music?

And I really think one needs to look at music for mandoras to find the roots of early guitar music. Even the emphases on opera variations and potpourris is similar. Some of the sources even state "fuer Guitare oder Mandora." My favorite, "2 Arien Aus der Oper Sultan Wampum oder Die Wuensch fuer die Mandora.
