There are only a few editions of these airs: minkoff facsimile, an excellent french edition with 90 airs with staff and tablature by Verchaly and perhaps some other edition I don't know of. Both mentioned editions are in french without translations. I've some translations of 'best of airs de cour', but I have to look them up for you. If you are more specific I can type them or scan the sheet. The excellent AR edition with airs by Sebastien Le Camus has translations, but that's a later source. By the way these texts are not allowed in the puritan US, so be careful not to be spotted. Taco
