Dear Mathias & All: I realize this is slightly off-topic, but I had a conversation on this very subject in the recent past with a lutenist who insisted that the tablatures for d-minor tuning in the CNRS Bocquet volume are by a Mlle. Bocquet. Apparently, Monique Rollin did not have a single shred of evidence that this music was by one of the two lute-playing Mlles. Bocquet. The attribution was entirely speculative. One wishes it were so, but it is not. See the review by Henry L. Schmidt in Notes, Vol. 29, No. 4 (June, 1973) pp. 784-786.
