The Barbe Ms. is a facsimile edition by Minkoff, of ms.
Bibliotheque nationale, Paris ca, 1690 Rés/ Vmb.ms7
The ms. progresses by key through many of the major works of
all of the different luthiste/composers. Barres and
fingerings are notated in red ink as in the original. The
fingerings are the best, much better than the fingerings
in Saizenay which I don't like at all. The composite is an
actual picture of the style of playing. If you take the
time and exercise patience to examine and follow through these
details, your efforts will be richly rewarded. Barbe
is a virtual treasure chest of 17th century musical style for
the lute.

publication?
Damian, Stephen-
Now you've got my attention- can you please tell me a little
about
the Barbe Ms, or where I can go to find out about it, and
maybe
download or buy a copy?
Thanks, Dan
I'll second that on the Barbe Manuscript for the baroque
lute, and for
the Renaissance lute I am having a wonderful time
working my way
through the Hortus Musicalis Novus of Elias Mertel.
