Do you noticed differences to the minkoff facsimile?
Interesting! I have both. Could you show us what differences you
have
found thus far?
All the best,

====================================================
Dear Arto and friends,
They are the same book. Before its discovery in Krakow, the only
surviving copy of Spinacino (books 1 & 2) was in the
Staatsbibliothek in Berlin (shelf number Mus. ant. pract.
P680/1-2). It disappeared during WW_II, and was known after the
war from a Photostat made by Genevieve Thibault (iirc), and
deposited in the Bibliotheque nationale in Paris. The original
Berlin copy (the only one known in modern days) turned up in
Krakow about ten years ago.
Thus the on-line digitalizecd copy and Mrs. Minkoff's facsimile
are reproductions of the very same book. At one time, Mrs.
Minkoff
retouched some of pages in her facsimiles, but stopped that
parctice after receiving complaints. In one instance she removed
fingering dots that she thought were fly specs (or something like
that).<g> But I do not know if she did so with her Spinacino
facsimile, which is fairly late, and probably after she got the
"Word" (from Bob Spencer).
There is a modern edition of both books with transcrption and
parallel tablature in H. L. Schmidt's dissertation at U of North
Carlina at Chapel Hill.
