Benjamin There is an article in the 1976 Journal of the Lute Society of America entitled, "How Beginners Should Proceed: the Lute Instructions of Lesage De Richee". The translation of instructions is not actually from "Cabinet der Lauten", but from a manuscript (mf 2002) in the University Library in Wroclaw. There are 22 statements of instructions, numbers 3 to 17 taken word for word from "Cabinet der Lauten". The other statements refer to 13 course lutes.
If you don't have access to this journal I can make a photo copy for you, if you like.

If not, and if there are any German speakers out there who might be willing to do one, I might well be able to email them a good quality digicam version of the entire document in return. All best to all! Benjamin To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
